Process control in electron beam sterilization of medical devices and a pathway to parametric release

One-year ageing FTIR monitoring of PE/EVOH/PE film after gamma or electron beam irradiation

“…Electron beam sterilization is increasingly applied to materials as well as to pharmaceutical or food products. Since the commercialization of the electron beam more than 50 years ago, a lot of research has been done on its effects on pharmaceutical products [6][7][8][9][10] . In the medical [11] and pharmaceutical fields, polymers are present in many medical devices such as syringes, gloves, or single-use plastic bags.…”
