These polyurethane materials can be stored in a secondary shape, from which they can recover their primary shape after exposure to an external stimulus, such as heat and water exposure. Tailored actuation temperatures of SMPs provide benefits for minimally invasive biomedical applications, but incur significant challenges for SMP-based medical device sterilization. Most sterilization methods require high temperatures or high humidity to effectively reduce the bioburden of the device, but the environment must be tightly controlled after device fabrication. Here, two probable sterilization methods (nontraditional ethylene oxide (ntEtO) gas sterilization and electron beam irradiation) are investigated for SMP medical devices. Thermal characterization of the sterilized foams indicated that ntEtO gas sterilization significantly decreased the glass transition temperature. Further material characterization was undertaken on the electron beam (ebeam) sterilized samples, which indicated minimal changes to the thermomechanical integrity of the bulk foam and to the device functionality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4037052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,14]],"date-time":"2017-06-14T16:31:07Z","timestamp":1497457867000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Effects of Sterilization on Shape Memory Polyurethane Embolic Foam Devices"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Rachael","family":"Muschalek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Landon","family":"Nash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843; Shape Memory Medical, Inc., Santa Clara, CA 95054 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sayyeda M.","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843; Shape Memory Medical, Inc., Santa Clara, CA 95054 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brandis K.","family":"Keller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary Beth B.","family":"Monroe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duncan J.","family":"Maitland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843; Shape Memory Medical, Inc., Santa Clara, CA 95054 e-mail:"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019100616202789800_bib1","volume-title":"Biomaterials Science: An Introduction To Materials in Medicine","year":"2004"},{"issue":"17","key":"2019100616202789800_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3356","DOI":"10.1039\/b923717h","article-title":"Biomedical Applications of Thermally Activated Shape Memory Polymers","volume":"20","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
