In the manufacture of very high tolerance medical device parts, mould micro-cavities and micro-tools must be of the highest standard of clean. Cleaning clamping devices used during the fabrication process and deflashing or deburring final products are equally significant manufacturing issues.

Dry Ice Cleaning achieves a superior quality of clean and has been shown to cut cleaning time significantly in the precision and micro mould industries. As Dry Ice Cleaning is non-abrasive, it does not damage the clamps (eliminating high tooling replacement costs), or microscopic letters, numbers and trademarks moulded into the products.

Features and Benefits in the Medical Device Industry:

• Reduces replacement tooling costs & product scrap rates
• Improves product quality and product consistency
• Helps meet contract specifications
• Helps meet strict industry standards for cleanliness
• Non-abrasive – won’t damage claimps, moulds or delicate components
• No water or secondary waste
• Clean in-place, no disassembly required
• Decontaminates
• Recognised by the EPA, FDA, and USDA as an acceptable cleaning material

Polar IceTech have been working with Medical Device manufacturers for nearly 15 years, helping them to meet strict industry cleanliness standards. We work with medical device companies who have delicate requirements for cleaning catheter tips, surgical device handles, surgical instrument trays or stents, to cleaning the clamping devices used during the fabrication process. At Polar IceTech, we mobilise teams across the island of Ireland to provide our Dry Ice Cleaning service.

Dry Ice Cleaning uses the latest in cryogenic cleaning technology and is a completely moisture free process working without chemicals, solvents or water. It is ideal for decontaminating and cleaning many applications including process and production equipment, high-value assets, electrical equipment and any moisture-sensitive and abrasive sensitive equipment.
