With many products using metallic, precision components, one of the most overlooked issues is related to particulates and contaminants. Particulate matter is a natural byproduct of the transformation process for many types of components. In many industries, high levels of particulate matter are inconsequential. However, in the pharmaceutical industry, many devices will fail validation and verification if there is any presence of particulates. The chosen route to resolve particulate issues is through deburring. Traditional deburring methods are often the solution to prevent the creation of particulates. However, with thin wire forms, they can produce deformations. For example, using synthetic media or manual sieving will distort thin wire often found in miniaturised medical devices. In this case study, we explain how we introduced an innovative in-line laster deburring process into an automated production line for a specialised functional wire form. Working with the pharmaceutical company and a third-party moulder, Advanex Medical helped diagnose an issue that only arose during mass production. Within a matter of days, Advanex Medical developed a novel solution that enabled the world's largest pharmaceutical company to successfully go to market with their strongest commercial offering in many decades. ### [![](https://27133590.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/27133590/cta-background.svg) ![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hubfs/Introducing-in-line-laser-deburring-to-minimise-rejection-rates-in-a-leading-drug-dose-counter.png) Case Study: In-line laser deburring to eliminate particulates for a drug dose counter Download the Case Study](https://cta-eu1.hubspot.com/web-interactives/public/v1/track/click?encryptedPayload=AVxigLI0FtcgfIc%2F%2Bpdm%2Bkbqbe1LPpzwbbDFP2EdVHHLnD1eCPaPBsc5WWFAlABrr5jQV%2F3pGS6GaP3K6mr0I3WjPH52Y52%2F8zIRt%2FvtUo4gjmIsKxQuwReI35EWr6qFCIqvM%2B3WQowK0E8Jb%2FnVcqdTLxZKZo3H7vmtTUI0pUK6kF9i9BH529yemRXc4KQ9zYU0RbT0KqyhVGmISmdpvx3DE4Li1YUepE9qraTobih5V1X2RUQYwKnDnVeYzY0l5m5yh60Yy3pZWgIj2aR%2B&portalId=143411052) ### Related Resources from Advanex - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iso-13485-compliance-by-design.jpg?width=352&name=iso-13485-compliance-by-design.jpg) What is ISO-13485 compliance-by-design? 12 February, 2026 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/what-is-iso-13485-compliance-by-design) - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shutterstock_1899126958%20%281%29.jpg?width=352&name=Shutterstock_1899126958%20%281%29.jpg) What causes spring entanglement in pharmaceutical manufacturing? 28 February, 2024 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/what-causes-spring-entanglement-in-pharmaceutical-manufacturing) - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wave-spring-benfits.jpg?width=352&name=wave-spring-benfits.jpg) What are the benefits of small wave springs? 15 January, 2026 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-small-wave-springs) - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1268589469%20(1).jpg?width=352&name=shutterstock_1268589469%20(1).jpg) A guide to design for manufacture in pharmaceutical products 28 November, 2024 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/design-for-pharmaceutical-manufacturing) - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wave%20spring2.jpg?width=352&name=wave%20spring2.jpg) Which medical devices are best suited for wave springs? 08 January, 2026 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/which-medical-devices-are-best-suited-for-wave-springs) - #### [![](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shutterstock_782845414%20%281%29.jpg?width=352&name=Shutterstock_782845414%20%281%29.jpg) How to reduce the risk of particulates in medical manufacturing 17 December, 2024 More](https://blog.advanexmedical.com/eliminating-particulates-in-medical-manufacturing) [View all](https://blog.advanexmedical.com) ### Talk to our experts We develop solutions that meet the exact needs of your project.
