The production and trimming of rigid medical trays made from sheet of Eastar™ copolyester 6763 results in little or no dust or particulates.

After the thermoformed trays are made, they are put in polybags. The polybags of trays are then placed in protective boxes for storage or shipment. As long as the polybags in the protective boxes are intact and no outside contamination is evident, the thermoformer or medical device manufacturer should not need to clean the tray prior to packaging a device and sealing the package.

If contamination is found on the medical trays and cleaning is required, use a lint-free towel. Blowing the tray out with filtered, deionized, non-lubricated air is also acceptable, assuming this does not stir up dust from the surrounding area.

Using alcohol, which could cause crazing, or water, which would not evaporate, is not recommended.
