High-energy irradiation sterilization of medical devices and implants composed of polymeric biomaterials that are in contact with tissue and/or blood, may adversely affect their long-term mechanical and/or biological performance (tissue and/or blood compatibility). Since many polymeric implants may
The resistance to sliding wear was measured in bovine serum for two polyethylenes with molecular weights of about LO5 and lo6 that had been irradiated in air and nitrogen with y-ray dosages up to 20 Mrad. Molecular weight measurements were performed after irradiation as well. Wear generally increase
