A method of sterilizing a polymerizable monomeric adhesive composition includes: providing a polymerizable monomeric adhesive composition in a container, the polymerizable monomeric adhesive composition including a polymerizable 1,1 -disubstituted ethylene monomer and at least one stabilizer; holding the composition in the container for a pre-determined amount of time, which is sufficient to inhibit or eliminate polymerization of the monomer during or immediately after sterilization, before sterilizing the composition; and sterilizing the polymerizable monomeric adhesive composition inside the container. |
