The effect of Electron Beam and γ ray sterilization for silk surgical suture was studied. The initial contamination and distribution of D,10, value were measured. Physical and chemical analysis of the material, such as tensile strength, water soluble extractive matter, optical density and U V spectrum were made after irradiation. In addition, a comparsion of material degradation between E B and γ sterilization was investigated.
