摘要: State-of-the-art cross-linked UHMWPE and recent findings about oxidation from in vivo stresses lead to the need of a better understanding why anti-oxidant additives have be added orthopaedics which additivation method is best option for use joint replacements. A GUR 1020 vitamin E–blended has been investigated provide an accurate outline its properties.
