Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical article improved for permitting a sterilizing process, obtainable from improvements in physical properties. SOLUTION: A medical article contains as a component element a silane graft copolymer of alpha olefin having ethylene and 3 to 20 carbon atoms. The copolymer has a hardness of 40 to 70A as measured with a durometer, a density of 0.85 to 0.95 g/cc, and a melt flow index of 0.1 to 1000 dg every ten minutes, and the medical article where the copolymer is molded and crosslinked in the form of the medical article has a compressive permanent set of 20% or less after sterilizing process.
