Gordon Brush® manufactures a broad range of American made brushes for medical, dental, laboratory, medical cleanroom, and contract manufacturing applications. Our vast array of stock brushes is used in neurological, orthopedic, spinal fixation, soft tissue fixation, bone fixation, implant prototyping, implant production and micro/minimally invasive device applications. In addition, surgical instrument cleaning brushes are used to clean endoscopes, as well as other instruments used in medical, dental and surgical procedures in hospitals, medical centers and veterinary clinics.
Gordon Brush's medical brushes are made with stainless steel stem wire and machined for optimum performance. Choose from a range of wire, natural and synthetic filaments for the abrasiveness and/or stiffness required by your critical cleaning applications. Gordon Brush® also offers a line of Metal Free brushes made with FDA compatible polypropylene. These Metal Free brushes are great to clean glassware or for other uses where a metal filament will damage the apparatus being cleaned.
Manual cleaning is recommended for delicate instruments and devices, such as microsurgical instruments, lensed instruments, power equipment and other instruments that can’t tolerate an automated cleaning process. If debris still remains on the instrument, then use a stainless-steel brush.
Stainless steel brushes are designed to remove debris, stains and stubborn bioburden that the nylon brush can’t remove. Stainless steel is intended to be used on bone files, needle holders, burrs, hemostats, reamers, scissors, serrated vascular instruments and orthopedic instruments.
For many orthopedic implants that are made from Titanium, it is imperative to use a Titanium brush to deburr the implant. When a titanium part is brushed with a stainless-steel brush, small amounts of the stainless steel are abraded from the brush fiber and embedded in the surface of the titanium. The two dissimilar metals are physically bound. When moisture is added, the result is the creation of a battery and the start of galvanic corrosion.
Gordon Brush® also manufactures custom medical brushes. The Company customized a brush for a spinal surgery company to clear the disc space in preparation for a spinal fusion. Gordon Brush's line of Metal Free brushes can also be customized for your specific application.
