Sterilisation of bioresorbable polymer implants.

Bioresorbable polymer implants are rapidly growing alternatives to traditional implants in many applications. Because of their resorption in the body, it is necessary to sterilise the complete product before application. The suitability of different sterilisation methods for bioresorbable polymers is discussed using polylactic acid implants as an example.
