Wipers for the Medical Device Industry
Wipers.
Since wipers often contact the device, the focus should be on visible fibers, final cleaning and terminal sterilization. Polyester knits are preferred for ISO class 3-5 areas; polyester/cellulose and polypropylene nonwoven wipers may be used in ISO Class 7 areas.
Medical device manufacturing is often conducted in ISO Class 7 or higher, non-aseptic controlled environments.
Whether your medical device is targeted for cardiovascular, orthopedic, surgical or diagnostic purposes, the cleanroom must be maintained through validated cleaning protocols that include wiping and mopping.
Wipers are available to in the following class areas:
