Surgical instruments and reusable medical devices often contain complex geometries, narrow channels, textured surfaces, and hard-to-access areas that require effective cleaning prior to sterilization. Foamtec Medical develops custom open-cell polyurethane (PU) foam solutions designed to support cleaning-related applications where consistency, absorbency, and controlled material performance are critical.
Open-cell PU foam can be engineered for applications involving cleaning verification, residue collection, protein detection support, and contamination-sensitive processes associated with surgical instrument reprocessing.
Because cleaning challenges vary by instrument type and process requirements, foam characteristics can be customized to meet application-specific needs.
