Medical containers and treating method for producing medical containers

摘要

A medical container is excellent in solvent resistance, low gas permeability and heat resistance. A treating method for producing such medical containers is also disclosed. The medical container includes a polyethylene naphthalate resin and includes a liquid-contact part which is on an inner surface of the container, the liquid-contact part being resistant to leaching of a component of the container as a result of being irradiated with light and/or plasma. The light for irradiation may have a wavelength in the range of 350 to 450 nm. The medical container may be a vial or a syringe. The treating method for producing a medical container includes irradiating a liquid-contact part of a polyethylene naphthalate medical container with light and/or plasma.
