A COMBINED IRRADIATION METHOD FOR PREVENTING THE DECREASE IN THE PHYSICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SKIN TISSUE AND SKIN SUBSTITUTES FOR STERILIZATION

摘要

PURPOSE: A radiation sterilizing method of skin implant material is provided to prevent material property degradation of skin implant materials by irradiating radiation to the skin implant material. CONSTITUTION: A radiation sterilizing method of skin implant material is constituted as follows. An antioxidant is added to skin implant material. The material property degradation of skin implant materials is suppressed by irradiating radiation to the skin implant material. The radiation is selected from gamma-ray, electronic beam, and X-ray. The skin implant material is the same or different skin implant material.
