BD operates a manufacturing facility in Sandy that produces intravenous lines and other vascular products. The site forms part of Becton, Dickinson and Company's medical-device operations, connecting Utah manufacturing with equipment used in patient care. [1]
BD's site-specific materials describe sterilization as a stage of manufacturing at Sandy and identify ethylene oxide as the method used there for sensitive products. The company also describes investments in emissions capture and treatment equipment. These facility activities combine medical-product production with the operational requirements of device sterilization. [1]
BD's 2016 anniversary release traces the Sandy operation to Deseret Pharmaceutical, which started in Murray in 1956, and says BD acquired the Sandy facility in 1986. The 1956 date belongs to the predecessor in Murray, not to the Sandy building. [2]
