Which medical plastics survive gamma sterilization?

Reference only: Compiled from public manufacturer literature for reference only; it may be incomplete or outdated. Before using any grade in a device, verify the current manufacturer data sheet and complete your own testing and regulatory review.

Gamma irradiation is the default for many single-use devices because it penetrates sealed packaging and leaves no residue. The trade-off is chemical: radiation breaks polymer chains (scission) and forms crosslinks, and it can keep oxidizing the material for weeks or months after exposure. Which effect dominates depends on the polymer.

Of the 338 public grades in MedResin, 209 have gamma compatibility stated by their supplier, 43 are listed as limited, 13 as not suitable, and 73 have no gamma statement in the source.

How polymer families generally behave

Generally hold up well: polymers with aromatic backbones, such as PEEK, PEI, the sulfones (PSU, PESU, PPSU), PPS, LCP and polystyrene-based resins. Aromatic rings absorb and dissipate radiation energy.
Usually fine, with caveats: polycarbonate (yellows; suppliers offer radiation-stabilized or color-corrected grades), polyethylene (crosslinking dominates), PET and copolyesters, COC/COP, polyamides, PEBA, silicone, and PVC formulated for irradiation (discoloration is the usual issue). Aromatic TPUs can discolor; aliphatic TPUs are less prone to yellowing.
Known to be poor: acetal (POM) degrades by chain scission and embrittles; PTFE degrades severely (no PTFE grades are listed in MedResin). Unstabilized polypropylene embrittles, often after a delay, so medical PP for gamma needs a radiation-stabilized grade.
Check aged parts, not just fresh ones. Post-irradiation oxidation means properties can keep changing after sterilization. Test at the maximum dose your process allows, after real-time or accelerated aging. Dose setting and validation follow ISO 11137.

The dose column is copied as the supplier states it. Blank means the source gives no dose.

Data comes from public supplier literature (cited on each grade page). A blank cell means not stated in the source, not "no". Always confirm with the supplier's current documentation before use.
