Sterilizable lubricant
 A lubricant gel formulation for surgical and external applications is described. The gel comprises an acrylic acid polymer, a hydroxy compound having at least two hydroxy groups and water. The gel composition exhibits exceptional viscosity stability through two cycles of gamma radiation sterilization. The gel formulation can be manufactured and packaged in sealed containers and radiation sterilized without significant decrease in rheological properties.
