摘要 |
The present invention relates to methods for making oxidation resistant 5 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. 4- 1300C =3; wi 120 0C 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 Distance (mm) |
