Ultrasonic Cleaning in Medical Sector: Surgical Instruments and Implants

13 April 2026 Plussonic

Why is Medical Cleaning Critical?

Medical implants and surgical instruments require cleaning compliant with ISO 13485 and FDA standards as they come into direct contact with the human body. Even the smallest particle of dirt on the surface can cause infection, rejection and device failure.

Cleaned Products

  • Orthopedic implants: Titanium prostheses, bone plates, screws
  • Surgical instruments: Scalpels, forceps, scissors
  • Dental products: Implants, crowns, brackets
  • Laparoscopic devices: Inner channels and joints
  • Injectors: Single-use medical devices

PLC-Controlled Fully Automatic Systems

Plussonic's PLC-controlled fully automatic conveyor ultrasonic washing facility, which has been actively used at Zimed for 10 years, provides sub-micron cleanliness. It is the preferred choice of leading medical manufacturers such as Tipmed, Ersoy Dental, Steelsa and Aygun Surgical.

Cleaning Processes

In the medical sector, pre-washing, ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, passivation and deionized water rinsing stages are applied. Each stage is performed in separate tanks with controlled temperature and chemicals.
