(57) [Abstract] An object of the present invention is to provide a radiation-resistant medical material capable of sterilizing surgical sutures and medical devices manufactured from a polymer material by irradiation with a gamma ray or an electron beam. Before molding a polymer for medical materials, the reactive monomer triallyl isocyanurate is used in an amount of 0.01 to 20 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, based on the polymer. Add 1 to 10 parts by weight. 10-50k of the above medical material A surgical suture or medical device that can be sterilized by irradiation with Gy radiation can be provided. |
