Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an oxidation resistant medical device.SOLUTION: This method for producing a crosslinked polymeric material includes: (a) preparing a solidified and crosslinked polymeric material by being irradiated with ionizing radiation; (b) doping the solidified and crosslinked polymeric material with an antioxidant by diffusion; and (c) annealing the antioxidant-doped crosslinked polymeric material in a liquid or gaseous environment and under various temperature and pressure conditions, for example, in boiling water under atmospheric pressure.
