Design Breakthroughs: Sanderson Macleod’S Efforts In Perfecting Medical Brushes

The twisted wire brush designers and engineers at Sanderson MacLeod pursue ways to perfect the medical brush. Their efforts have resulted in countless improvements and innovations.

By working closely with our customers, we leverage advanced planning, design, engineering, production, and delivery processes for all of our brushes. It’s through these group efforts that our brush design innovation and breakthroughs happen. We are proud to employ the most skilled brush-makers in the industry. We work with customers to achieve desired results faster and with more accuracy. Our process often leads to new and exciting features and products.

Sanderson MacLeod has been an innovator in the twisted wire brush industry by constantly researching better ways to solve customer problems. When the company set out to fix flaws in medical brush tips, we completely changed the brush industry.

The largest risk for medical equipment damage can occur during cleaning with a brush that is inserted into the equipment. Traditional brush tips can fall off, sharp core wires can protrude from the tip, and the tips can bend and break.

We solved these problems by looking outside of the brush industry. We worked with experts in materials joining engineering. We conducted hundreds of hours of research, trials, and testing. Through the research, we were able to create a new manufacturing process that uses high-energy, fusion-welding technologies.

The result is an entirely new protective brush tip. The process melts the brush’s preconstructed core wire into a consistent, smooth stainless steel protective tip that cannot be separated. It is known as the ZTip.

In addition to this innovative design, we produce a brush tip with a mirror-like smooth surface. This brush tip can’t fall off. The brush’s core wire won’t protrude through the tip, and the dimensions and position are always consistent.

The ZTip twisted wire medical brush is created in one in-line, fully automated process. The biggest benefit of this process is the reduction of internal inspection time and costs.

The most important aspect of the ZTip is that it will not create microscopic scars while cleaning medical equipment. By not creating scars that trap contaminants, the ZTip promotes medical equipment sterility. The ZTip is available for all commonly used twisted wire medical brush applications.
