About

StemRad provides personal radiation-protection solutions. Its technology offers lifesaving protection from penetrating ionizing radiation, making the lives of first responders, military personnel, utility personnel, medical teams, and astronauts safer without compromising mission objectives. The company has developed the 360 Gamma, a wearable shield that provides lifesaving protection from gamma radiation. StemRads 360 Gamma lowers radiation exposure to the most critical radiosensitive organs, including the colon, stomach, and ovaries, significantly reducing the associated risks in accordance with the ALARA safety principle. The StemRad 360 Gamma is worn around the pelvic area, which contains the bodys largest concentration of bone marrow. StemRad is also the developer of AstroRad, personal protective equipment designed to be worn by astronauts beyond low Earth orbit. Co-developed by StemRad and Lockheed Martin, AstroRad protects bone marrow to prevent acute radiation sickness, but is further expanded to also protect the lungs, stomach, colon, breasts, and ovaries organs that are particularly vulnerable to the development of cancer due to chronic exposure to radiation.
