Medical products sterilized in a gamma processing facility are given an absorbed dose greater than or equal to a specified minimum dose chosen to achieve a required sterility assurance level. Because of the dose variation in the product volume, most of the product receives a dose greater than the mi

## Abstract Gamma sterilization of UHMWPE hip and knee joint replacement components secondarily creates free radicals along the polymer chains. Though crosslinking between radicals may improve mechanical properties, typical postβirradiation environments (air shelf storage or __in vivo__ service) ma
A film dosimeter (0.35 mm thick) composed of polyethylene-vinyl acetate and microcrystalline L-a-alanine has been prepared and investigated with respect to dosimetric properties using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The useful absorbed dose range is \_ 25 to 10' Gy and no dose-rate dependence
Measurements of the relative emission rates of the 776 keV gamma ray, the positrons and the K x-rays in the decay of 82Rb have been repeated. This has led to the finding that the gamma ray to positron ratio is 0.1578 +/- 0.0019 and that the 776 keV gamma-ray probability per decay is (15.12 +/- 0.18)
