Dry ice cleaning in the medical supply store: a complete success
In orthopaedic technology, the problem that wet cleaning takes a very long time and represents a risk factor for sensitive materials and electronics is well known. Dry Ice Energy A dry ice cleaning was carried out in the medical supply store of Rehatech GmbH in order to give the rooms a new shine through noticeable gains in efficiency and quality.
Stephan Moeck, an employee at Rehatech, reports on the results after our on-site appointment. Learn what Mr. Moeck says about us and how dry ice cleaning can be effectively used in orthopedic technology in this blog post!

Why is dry ice cleaning suitable for orthopedic equipment?
Rays from Dry ice achieve immediately visible results. The cleaning is complete without water, so that it is immediately visible whether, for example, covers, upholstery or frames are clean. Since the process is water-free, there is no drying time, which means that various devices and sales rooms immediately ready for use again .
In addition, cleaning is carried out with a Dry ice blasting device no chemicalsDry ice pellets are fired at contaminated surfaces using compressed air. Three effects play a role in cleaning surfaces:
- Thermal shock: The dirt becomes brittle due to the cold.
- Kinetic energy: The pellets hit the surface, mechanically removing the deposit.
- Sublimation: The ice turns into gas upon impact, lifting particles from the ground.
Gentle cleaning is especially important in medical supply stores. Sensitive components, such as joysticks on electronic wheelchairs, must be protected from moisture to ensure proper functionality. Dry ice is an excellent alternative to cleaning because the cleaning process is dry and residue-free.
Dry ice cleaning in the medical supply store in practice
“At first we were skeptical,” says Stephan Moeck when he Dry Ice Energy Previously, conventional methods were known to remove dirt and dust from medical supplies Rehabilitation Technology to remove. But Dry Ice Energy, said Mr. Moeck, has taught the company a lesson.
“The big advantages here are the dry surfaces after cleaning," says Mr. Moeck with satisfaction. You can tell immediately whether a wheelchair, for example, is clean after dry ice cleaning, and you don't have to wait until the next day.
He also appreciates the fact that dry ice cleaning is carried out without water and chemicals. gentle cleaning of sensitive surfaces“ convinces him as well as the fact that “the Components protected from rust because “we work with dry ice and not with water.”

Efficiency in workflow with dry ice cleaning in orthopaedic technology
Turnaround times count, even in a medical supply store. Every minute a medical device takes to dry after conventional cleaning is lost operating time. With dry ice, these waiting times are eliminated, and Rehatech immediately benefited from visible results.
Mr. Moeck also confirms the immediate quality assurance: “It works faster, cleaner and more effective And you can use it again right away. That's proven true."
The method is also not only suitable for medical supply stores, Mr. Moeck stated after our visit. "Dry ice can be used not only in medical supply stores. It can also use in principle everywhere, in industry, in the automotive sector, everywhere where cleaning is required.”
The method of dry ice cleaning is therefore now also used in Vehicle preparation or by Maintenance-area a popular alternative for pure workplaces that convince. In our News Learn more about other companies that Dry Ice Energy successfully attended.
What are Rehatech’s final experiences with Dry Ice Energy?
Stephan Moeck was convinced: “It can be used anywhere, and I would recommend it. This is a great product, great workmanship, great result."
Mr. Moeck wasn't the only one who was satisfied at the end of the day – we were also proud of the results of the dry ice cleaning at the Rehatech medical supply store. Our visit demonstrates how dry ice cleaning improves everyday life at the medical supply store: immediately visible results, dry surfaces, gentle treatment of sensitive components, and a clear increase in workflow efficiency.
If you also want to prepare your tools or work spaces hygienically and without chemicals, the cleaning method of Dry Ice Energy an optimal alternative to conventional cleaning. Become our Partners and you too can benefit from dry ice cleaning in medical supply stores and other industries!
No, because the process is not abrasive. The CO2-Pellets have no sharp edges and immediately sublimate upon impact, lifting dirt rather than grinding it away. Damage can only occur if the coating adheres poorly or if used incorrectly.
No, regular disinfection is still necessary. While dry ice cleaning can reduce the microbial load, it is no substitute for the disinfection required by a hygiene plan.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Because dry ice produces low temperatures, adequate protective equipment such as safety goggles, hearing protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear is also essential. When cleaning your electronics, be sure to turn off the power beforehand and carefully select the distance and pressure.
The cleaning process is suitable for various materials and surfaces. For example, it can be used to remove adhesive residue from plastics or circuit board casings on control panels. It is also possible to clean upholstery and covers of deposits and odors.
The process takes place in five steps:
- -Setup: Machine, hoses, nozzles and dry ice are prepared.
- Select nozzle and pressure: We choose fine printing for sensitive parts and high printing for robust surfaces.
- Distance and angle: With a distance of 30-80 mm and a flat angle, we remove the dirt in a controlled manner.
- radiate: We carefully clean the surfaces in even, overlapping strokes.
- Finish: Dirt particles on the floor are vacuumed away without drying time.
