MicroCare Medical Takes the Stage at MD&M Midwest 2026: Designing for Cleanability

What if better medical device manufacturing started at the design stage? MicroCare Medical is bringing this critical conversation to MD&M Midwest 2026, where industry experts will explore how designing for cleanability early can help reduce rework, avoid delays and support more reliable medical devices.

Join Our Expert Panel: Designing for Cleanability

As medical devices become smaller, more complex and incorporate new materials, cleaning challenges can become harder to resolve once manufacturing is underway. Addressing cleanability during design and development can help manufacturers identify potential issues earlier, before they become obstacles to production, validation or commercialization.

On October 29, MicroCare Medical experts Sean Gallimore, Juan De Paz-Lavelle and Matt Lingenfelter will lead a panel discussion on the role cleanability plays in medical device development.

The discussion will explore why cleanability should be considered from the earliest stages of design and not treated as a downstream manufacturing concern. Panelists will examine how collaboration among design, engineering, manufacturing and cleaning teams can help identify and address potential challenges before they affect commercialization.

“Cleanability is often treated as a downstream manufacturing concern, but decisions made during design can have a significant impact on how a device can ultimately be cleaned and validated,” said Sean Gallimore, chief operating officer at MicroCare Medical. “Our goal is to help manufacturers recognize those considerations earlier and understand cleanability’s role in the development process.”
