More Effective Manual Endoscope and Duodenoscopes Cleaning A report presented at the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Annual Conference in 2013 referenced studies that found 15 percent of flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes used for patient screening contained unacceptable amounts of bacteria. While several factors could result in the improper cleaning of endoscope equipment, including human error and inappropriate use of cleaning chemicals, one major problem could be not using a twisted wire brush, which is critical in proper cleaning. Sanderson MacLeod produces industry-leading, world-class twisted wire endoscope cleaning and duodenoscope cleaning brushes that provide distinct features not found in other brushes. As a large-quantity contract manufacturer for endoscope cleaning OEMs, we have worked diligently with our customers to reach beyond the demands of the marketplace. One advancement is the option of using polypropylene fibers in our endoscope cleaning, duodenoscope cleaning, cytology, and interdental brushes. Polypropylene fiber is a thermoplastic polymer, which is extremely durable and resistant to many chemical solvents. It is softer and gentler than traditional nylon fiber. Polypropylene fibers are available in all standard diameters and a wide variety of colors. Our polypropylene fiber medical brushes are available for all medical applications. All medical brush products use FDA-approved materials and are individually documented to ensure regulatory compliance. Both nylon and polypropylene brushes come standard with antimicrobial fibers. The Z-Tip Prevents Endoscope and Duodenoscopes Equipment Cleaning Damage Sanderson MacLeod has been an innovator in the twisted wire brush industry by constantly researching better ways to solve customer problems. When the company set out to fix flaws in medical brush tips, we revolutionized the brush industry. The largest risk for endoscope and duodenoscope damage can occur during cleaning with a brush that is inserted into the equipment. Traditional brush tips can fall off, sharp core wires can protrude from the tip, and the tips can bend and break. We solved these problems by looking outside of the brush industry and collaborating with experts in materials joining engineering. We conducted hundreds of hours of research, trials, and testing to create a new manufacturing process that uses high-energy, fusion-welding technologies. The result is an entirely new protective brush tip that melts the brushs preconstructed core wire into a consistent, smooth, and inseparable protective tip, known as the Z-Tip. In addition to this innovative design, we produce a brush tip with a mirror-like smooth surface, so the tip cant fall off, the core wire wont protrude through the tip, and the dimensions and orientation are always consistent. The Z-Tip twisted wire medical brush is created in one in-line, fully automated process, which reduces internal inspection time and costs. The most important aspect of the Z-Tip is that it will not create microscopic scars while cleaning endoscope equipment. By not creating scars that trap contaminants, the Z-Tip promotes endoscope sterility. The Z-Tip is available for all commonly used twisted wire medical brush applications.

The Inventor of the Twisted Wire Mascara Brush In 1959, Sanderson MacLeod designed and produced the first twisted wire mascara brush. Before brushes were used to apply mascara, a variety of other tools served the purpose, including machine screws. When a makeup artist had the idea to use a brush to apply mascara, Sanderson MacLeod was called upon. From those simple beginnings, the mascara brush was invented. Since then, Sanderson MacLeods cosmetic brushes have been in the spotlight of design innovation. By leveraging the latest in design and manufacturing methodologies, our company has maintained its position as a world leader in cosmetic brush production.
