Title:
METHODS FOR MAKING OXIDATION RESISTANT POLYMERIC MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005110276
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for making oxidation resistant medical devices that comprise polymeric materials, for example, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The invention also provides methods of making antioxidant-doped medical implants, for example, doping of medical devices containing cross-linked UHMWPE with vitamin E by diffusion, post-doping annealing, and materials used therein.
