Guideline: Sterilization with gamma radiation
The use of gamma rays ensures reliable germ reduction and sterilization - even for high-density materials and products with complex geometries. Whether implants, syringes, or primary pharmaceutical packaging: Which products are particularly well-suited for this process and are regularly treated in BGS facilities? Download our guideline to get all the information you need at a glance.


High-Performance Sterilization with Gamma Rays
Effective sterilization is essential for numerous industries and products. By using ionizing radiation, such as beta or gamma rays, harmful germs, mold, and spores on products are safely destroyed within a short period of time. Due to the high penetration depth of gamma rays, this process is particularly suitable for entire pallets, containers, and sealed products, leaving no residues behind.
Advantages of sterilization with gamma rays:
- High penetration depth – Sterilization of high-density products
- Flexibility – Grouping of products into processing classes
- Immediate availability – No additional waiting times required
- Environmentally friendly – No chemical residues
Typical applications:
- Implants made of plastic, ceramic, and metal
- Medical devices: catheters, cannulas, and syringes
- and many more!
