Safe and sterile processes with modular workpiece carriers for surgical instruments
Structured handling, validatable cleaning and efficient logistics – thoroughly thought out from the raw part to the OP packaging
In the handling and preparation of surgical instruments, every detail matters: protection of sensitive geometries, hygienic safety, efficient cleaning, reproducible processes, and a stable transport structure. The modular part carriers and cleaning baskets from ZELL were developed precisely for this purpose – made of stainless steel or high-strength PA6-GF30, for smooth processes in manufacturing, clinic logistics, and sterile supply processing.
Why modular carrier systems make the difference
🧼 Validatable cleaning & drying
Part carriers made of stainless steel and PA plastic enable residue-free cleaning – also for ultrasonic, alcoholic or aqueous systems. Open geometries ensure optimal drying without media change.
♻️ Reusable & robust
Durable, stackable and chemical-resistant. Can also be used for small batch sizes - thanks to modular inserts or PA baskets for fine components.
⚙️ Automatable & system-compatible
Robot-compatible positioning for manufacturing and clinical processes. Compatible with washing & packaging lines, storage trolleys and shelving systems.
🧠 Traceability integrated
DMC, laser engraving or RFID enable complete traceability down to component level – linkable with ERP, QM and sterile goods management.
🛡️ Component protection
No friction, no contact – ideal for sensitive instruments
🧼 Suitable for cleaning
Fully flushable & validatable
♻️ Reusable
Reusable, washable, stackable - sustainable alternative to disposable
⚙️ Automatable
Robot and camera positionable, ideal for integrated processes
🧠 Traceable
Engraving, DMC, or RFID for unambiguous tracking of each unit
Application examples in practice
- Surgical scissors, forceps and spreaders in surgical set configuration
- Navigation and robotics instruments for fine cleaning
- Drills, screws, implant components in small workpiece carriers or PA baskets
- Pre-packaged units for end-of-line testing & cleanroom loading
- Clinic logistics: from preparation to OR preparation on the ward
One system – many solutions.
ZELL modular carrier systems create consistent structures for the production, cleaning, and packaging of surgical instruments. Process reliability, component protection, and reusability are the focus – for controlled, economical, and traceable instrument logistics in medical technology or clinical environments.
