Methods: The SF/CH films, sterilized with 130 Gy in a gamma cell, were subjected to tests for thickness, water vapor permeability, tensile strength, elongation, and swelling as well as scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity were evaluated using human epidermal keratinocytes, human foreskin fibroblasts, and human gingival fibroblasts.
