Improved Sterilization of Sensitive Biomaterials with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide at Low Temperature.

The development of bio-resorbable implant materials is rapidly going on. Sterilization of those materials is inevitable to assure the hygienic requirements for critical medical devices according to the medical device directive (MDD, 93/42/EG). Biopolymer-containing biomaterials are often highly sens...
