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.

Polypropylene fiber is a thermoplastic polymer, which is extremely durable and vastly coveted for its resistance to many chemical solvents. Despite this fact, it is unexpectedly softer and gentler than traditional nylon fiber. Polypropylene fibers are available in all standard diameters. Also, these brushes are available in a wide variety of colors and diameters. The polypropylene fiber medical brushes are available for all medical applications. All medical brush products are made using FDA approved medical materials and are individually documented to ensure regulatory compliance.

Sanderson MacLeod is the only brush manufacturer that specializes solely in twisted wire brushes, and for more than 50 years, has been the source of twisted wire brushes for some of the largest companies in the world. The company has a long history of innovation, including the distinction of inventing the first twisted wire mascara brush. Sanderson MacLeod employs approximately 100 people in a state-of-the-art, 137,000 square foot facility in Palmer, Massachusetts and utilizes a modern, FDA compliant Quality Control Laboratory to ensure product quality.

Sanderson MacLeod Introduces Anti-Microbial Fiber Medical Brushes

Sanderson MacLeod, the manufacturer of domestically produced twisted wire brushes, is introducing the use of anti-microbial fiber in their line of 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 include anti-microbial fiber. A constant threat in the medical world is microbial contamination of medical devices. Microbial contamination is when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are unintentionally introduced to a controlled area. This type of contamination can lead to both health threats and confounded research results.

By using anti-microbial fibers, Sanderson MacLeod’s brushes will now have increased protection from microbial contamination.

As Mark N. Borsari, President of Sanderson MacLeod stated, “the medical industry is being more and more scrutinized in terms of how they’re taking care of their patients, making sure that their equipment is lasting longer. People are realizing that small things such as a cleaning brush do have a major impact in the end result of the patient”.

The brushes are available in all common diameters and sizes. As expected, all medical brush products are made using FDA approved medical materials and are individually documented to ensure regulatory compliance. Also, the anti-microbial fiber medical brushes are available for all medical applications.

Sanderson MacLeod serves many of the largest medical companies in the world as a brush supplier; ensuring a cost efficient product for the right applications.
