Abstract

This review article is focused on the sterilization techniques used for polymer-based implantable medical devices as well as the regulatory aspects governing sterile medical devices. Polymeric materials are increasingly used in implantable devices due to their biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Patients and medical staff often prefer long-term implantable devices and these can be achieved using high molecular weight polymers. Sterilization of polymer-based implantable devices is critical. Since all implantable devices must be sterile, the effect of the sterilization method on the different device components (such as, the polymer, the drug, the electronics, etc.) has to be considered. A comprehensive summary of the established sterilization methods is provided along with the possible effects on polymers. In addition, novel sterilization methods are also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
