Gamma Irradiation

Gamma combines good penetration, which ensures the sterilization of a wide variety of medical devices, with differing densities, and has the ability to construct and operate a safe facility. Gamma sterilization is widely used for sterilizing medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and food products. This method entails exposing items to gamma rays from radioactive isotopes like cobalt-60 or cesium-137, which disrupt microorganisms' DNA, preventing their reproduction. Known for its deep material penetration, gamma sterilization is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective, especially when heat or chemical sterilization is unsuitable. However, strict adherence to safety guidelines is essential due to potential hazards linked to radioactive materials.
