Aragogamma<\/h1>We radiate confidence since 1970<\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Aragogamma<\/strong> was founded in 1970 with the aim of sterilizing surgical sutures manufactured by the company itself.<\/p>\n

Establishing itself as a service company<\/strong> in the technology of irradiation\/sterilization<\/strong>. This process has, at present, the systems of quality in its service, as well as the last computer science advances.
\nThe experience acquired in these 50 years gives us a deep knowledge of technology and allows us to optimize the advice that our customers receive.<\/p>\n

The important development of the plastic industry led to a strong increase in the use of plastic packaging, especially the so-called \u201csingle-use\u201d in medicine and pharmaceutical specialties. Since the parameter systems to be controlled were temperature and plastic is susceptible to heat, these systems were not suitable for this type of material. On the other hand, sterilization by radiation allowed the treatment of many products at room temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sterilization of medical products depends on the ability of the radiation to inactivate<\/strong> and eliminate<\/strong> pathogenic or non-existent microorganisms in the product. This activity began in the 1950s on single-use products such as hypodermic needles and surgical gloves and was subsequently applied to the field of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foodstuffs.<\/p>\n

By \u201cproduct<\/strong>\u201d we mean any type of raw material or finished product, including the packaging material with which the product is sterilized.
