Supporting Medical Device Manufacture for 15 Years and Counting

Over our 15 years in business, we have always looked to build long-lasting, key relationships with clients and suppliers.

But we also use the same approach when designing our cleanrooms. We work closely with our clients to understand the exact requirements of their process, and design functional cleanrooms that are fit for purpose.

We can think of no better example on how we do this effectively, than the cleanroom we built 15 years ago at OrthoD (then Summit Medical).

This cleanroom is still operational to this day, protecting the manufacture of a range of single-use medical devices, mainly used in orthopaedic surgery. It performs just as well as it did on the day it was commissioned and our client is still just as happy with it.

“We have worked with Connect 2 Cleanrooms ever since the business was started by Joe. They worked closely with us to design and install a facility that would minimise disruption to the operation, and provide the potential for enhanced efficiency and throughput, enabling our drive for volume growth. The open and clean design supports our growth aspirations, enabling flexibility enhancements and lean manufacturing cells to be integrated into the existing structure and floor plan.

“This cleanroom has now been in operation for 15 years, and with Connect 2 Cleanrooms’ support and regular validation, has performed ahead of specification, and pretty much faultlessly throughout this period. We have every confidence that the cleanroom will continue to enable the ongoing growth and expansion in assembly operations at OrthoD.” Head of Operations & Regulatory Affairs, OrthoD.

Thanks OrthoD – we are looking forward to supporting your business objectives over the next 15 years and more.
