*Data on file at Syntervention, Inc.
Lint from cotton gauze and non-adherent pads can be transferred onto gloves, instruments, devices, into the air, and into patients.
The lint-free and low particulate characteristics of the SWIPER minimize the transfer of foreign bodies into the patient. Data confirms that foreign body contamination is associated with complications and risks that increase liability and costs to the hospital. (Learn more)
