Abstract
In medical applications, specifically in the handling of mechanical utensils, hygiene and safety must be ensured, which implies a complete cleaning and sterilization of these, as well as the absence of burrs on support edges, in order that there are no harmful cuts of the tissues that are being examinated or manipulated. In such a way, the so-called mirrors or vaginal dilators are very useful elements in the review of women's health and should not be exempt from the minimum quality of hygiene and safety. These devices, are developed using a special polymer, which are commonly elaborated through plastic injectors using molds, due to, they are implemented using different parts, generate the creation of sharp edges and shavings that must be eliminated. The geometry of the mirrors implies a certain complexity in the elimination of the cutting elements. In the present work the design of a polishing machine is presented, which is designed under the principle of fusion of sharp edges and shavings by applying heat from butane gas flames. The proposed machine transports the mirrors to the position to the location of the heating source, with the proper orientation, in order to eliminate the edges and shavings.
