Oxidation behaviour in prosthetic UHMWPE components sterilised with high energy radiation in a low-oxygen environment

Oxidation of the UHMWPE component during sterilisation with high energy radiation has been recognised as one of the main problems affecting the durability of orthopaedic implants. Oxidation is always present in radiation-sterilised polymeric components due to the oxygen diffused into UHMWPE. Hydrope...
