Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention includes a lubricious polymer blend wherein at least one of the polymer materials is a water insoluble polymer and one of the materials is a lubricious water-soluble polymer. The invention includes a method of forming a desired medical device by melt mixing the selected polymers and then forming the polymer blend into the desired shape. The method further includes cross-linking the polymer blend after or before being shaped into the medical device in order to improve the retention of the lubricous polymer during exposure to abrasive forces or to materials which would extract the lubricious surface, such as water. Cross-linking the polymer blend may be improved by adding a cross-linking agent and/or cross-linking he polymer blend in the presence of a selected inert atmosphere.
