Parts cleaning in the medical industry
Cleaning technologies for the medical industry
As a full-range supplier, Ecoclean covers the entire spectrum of parts cleaning. In addition, the company’s portfolio includes solutions for aqueous and solvent-based surface treatment, automation, cleanroom systems, as well as packaging systems for implants and instruments with validated packaging materials. Adapted to the specific demands and applications (e.g. pre-, intermediate or final cleaning, material, component geometry, type of contamination and cleanliness requirements), different systems are available for individual part and batch cleaning with environmentally compatible solvents and water-based media. Partial cleaning can be carried out reliably and efficiently with our dry cleaning processes. Targeted surface activation, for example of specific areas of implants to optimize osseointegration, is made possible by our water-based solutions for activating surfaces without the addition of abrasive media. Software, RFID technology, audit trail and CFR 21 specially developed for the medical technologies sector ensure the end-to-end identification, documentation and traceability of components.
Components:
- Implants, e.g. hip joints, knee joints, spinal implants.
- Instruments, e.g. surgical instruments, scissors, saws, clips, forceps, scalpels, retainers, nails, screws, drills.
- Dental parts, e.g. implants.
- Endoscope components.
- Syringes, cannulas.
- Inhalers.
- Components for large devices, e.g. MRI, CT, X-ray systems.
- Additively manufactured components, e.g. implants, prostheses.
Applications:
- Pre-cleaning, e.g. after machining processes.
- Deburring and cleaning.
- Intermediate cleaning between production processes, e.g. after grinding and polishing.
- Final cleaning with passivation, e.g. prior to packaging and sterilization.
- Assembly-integrated cleaning.
- Surface treatment, e.g. roughening to improve osseointegration.
- Surface activation, e.g. roughening before coating, bonding.
