Polypropylene Fiber Medical Brushes from Sanderson MacLeod

Sanderson MacLeod, a world-leader manufacturer of domestically produced twisted wire brushes, is introducing polypropylene fiber medical brushes. Polypropylene fiber is currently available for use in their line of contract manufactured medical brushes.

Sanderson MacLeod manufactures large volume twisted wire medical brushes including disposable and reusable cytology brushes, endoscope cleaning brushes, interdental brushes, guide wires and medical stylets that will now be available upon request in polypropylene fiber.

Despite this fact, it is unexpectedly softer and gentler than traditional nylon fiber. Polypropylene fibers are available in all standard diameters.

All medical brush products are made using FDA approved medical materials and are individually documented to ensure regulatory compliance.
