Carrier Fluids and Lubricants

MicroCare has developed a unique family of sophisticated cleaners, coatings and lubricants for metal, plastic and ceramic parts. These are engineered for the demanding requirements of the medical device industry. Because of the technical and regulatory complexities of the products, these are available through MicroCare Medical, a special division of MicroCare focused on the medical device industry.
 
The DuraGlide™ family of dry film lubricants are packaged for dip, spray or aerosol applications. Most frequently they are used to lubricate medical devices such as catheters, cutting tools, staplers, hypotubes, and complex assemblies where components slide against each other “surface to surface.” Based on proprietary “microdispersion” technology, these lubricant products deposit a thin, smooth film over the desired surfaces. This coverage is more uniform than those provided by traditional lubricants, delivering important performance improvements.
 
The SpecClean™ silicone carrier fluid provides a nonflammable, VOC-free answer that is completely safe for plastics yet able to work with traditional silicone coatings. The product is engineered to eliminate the risk of fire, avoid hazardous materials, and protect the environment, all of which ultimately saves time and money. With excellent materials compatibility, quick evaporation and no residues, it is used for the dilution, deposition and cleaning of silicone onto medical devices. It replaces alipahtic solvents, aromatic organic solvents, ozone-depleting solvents and chlorinated solvents.

Lastly, MicroCare Medical offers a variety of precision cleaners for benchtop and automated cleaning processes, plus cleanroom wipes, sterilized isopropyl alcohol and other products tailored to the medical device industry. Learn more by visiting the MicroCare Medical web site.
