Medical Wire Baskets • Custom Medical Grade Stainless Steel

Choosing the Best Steel Wire Basket for Your Medical Application

The medical industry has strict requirements for medical tools and equipment, requiring supplies that are easy to sterilize and clean to maintain a healthy environment. Manufacturers must provide end users with sterile and reliable products for use in medical applications that allow healthcare facilities to keep medical tools clean and sterile to prevent infection.

Medical-grade stainless steel wire medical baskets provide solutions that maintain both sterility and cleanliness, but it's important to know what options to choose. There are certain considerations when choosing steel baskets for medical applications, which you can learn more about in our Top 10 Considerations for Medical Wire Baskets blog.

The Importance of Electropolishing Medical Baskets

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that removes burrs and other surface imperfections from metal materials. It uses a combination of an electrolytic chemical solution and an electrical current to produce smooth parts.

The electropolishing process offers several benefits for medical baskets, including:

Removed surface imperfections: The process eliminates burrs and sharp edges on medical baskets to keep them safe for medical staff and patients.
Improved smoothness and surface finish: A smoother surface prevents the buildup of various contaminants, including harmful bacteria.
Enhanced appearance: This benefit adds some visual appeal to each medical basket.
Better quality: Medical baskets also benefit from optimized durability and increased reliability through electropolishing.

Custom Baskets for Medical Parts Washing/Cleaning

When selecting a medical basket made of medical-grade stainless steel, some key considerations will influence your decision or product of choice.

The different considerations for medical parts washing and cleaning include:

Material selection: You'll want to consider the specific types of stainless steel to use in your medical baskets, with different alloys providing different properties.
Contaminants in the application: Consider the types of contaminants and soils you'll need to clean and the agents you'll need to clean them.
Cleaning process requirements: You may need a medical basket that can accommodate the cleaning and sterilization of complicated shapes.
Sterilization method: You might use either heat or chemicals to treat medical parts when sterilizing them.
Validation process Think about the method you'll use to confirm that all parts are clean and sterile to eliminate the risk of infection.
