Product Description
STX712A Sterile CleanFoam is a low-linting (no swab is truly ‘zero-lint’ in every process condition), sterile, rectangular-head foam cleanroom swab designed for controlled cleaning, solvent application and removal, fine powder pickup, and sampling in critical environments. The swab head is constructed from high-quality 100 PPI polyurethane CleanFoam (closed-cell behavior for wipe control) and bonded to a polypropylene handle using a thermal bond to reduce adhesive-related contamination risk at the bond line. Each swab is individually packaged in a peel-apart sleeve to support sterile-at-the-moment-of-use workflows, with lot coding and expiration dating to strengthen documentation, inventory control, and audit readiness. Sterilization is commonly specified as gamma irradiation to a 10-6 Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for sterile cleanroom programs where transfer, handling discipline, and traceability matter as much as the swab tip itself.
