Product Description
Texwipe STX708A is a sterile circular-head foam cleanroom swab designed for environmental monitoring, diagnostic sampling, and controlled cleaning on curved or irregular surfaces where a rectangular head can skip edges or miss contact on radii. The head is constructed from high-quality 100 PPI polyurethane CleanFoam® and joined to a long, easy-grip polypropylene handle using complete thermal bond construction to eliminate adhesive contamination at the bond line. Each swab is individually wrapped for point-of-use sterility and is gamma irradiated to a 10-6 Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137. In practical cleanroom use, foam swabs are selected for low-linting performance (no swab is truly ‘lint-free’ in every process condition), solvent pickup/control, and consistent contact on complex geometries—while sterile packaging, lot traceability, and expiration dating help keep sampling workflows defensible and audit-ready.
