Technological Firm in Iran Makes X-Ray Absorbent Clothes
“The founders of our company have carried out research on various types of radioactive radiation absorbers and succeeded in producing a lead-free, light and flexible X-ray absorber layer at a very low price,” said Shiva Shahshenas, the managing director of Idehsazan Fanavari Proshot company.
“Our company is the only manufacturer of radiation protection products that has all the necessary departments for production, including the research and development (R&D) laboratory and the industrial production department,” she added.
Shahshenas also elaborated on different types of X-ray absorbers and the features and differences of her company’s products with similar ordinary samples.
Earlier this year, researchers at an Iranian company had also designed and produced X-ray scanning machines that have already been used at three border crossings in the country to prevent smuggling.
“The X-ray machine was made by this company to prevent smuggling of goods. Now this Iran-made machine has been installed at Mahirood shared border crossing with Afghanistan, Shahid Rajaei port, and Astara border crossing,” Masoud Assadi, a member of the research and development team of the Iranian knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He said that domestically manufacturing of the machine has saved the country millions of dollar by preventing its imports, adding that the price of this machine is more than five million euros.
“This group started its business by producing medical stretchers and only with two people, and later the construction of a hotel hospital, operation room LED lights, and the overhaul of the linear accelerator for cancer treatment were among the other activities done in the company in the past,” the researcher added.
Assadi stated that only three companies Elekta, Siemens and BRIND are producers of linear accelerator for cancer treatment, while importing their products into Iran faced a serious hurdle after the sanctions were imposed.
