Knitted or sterile: which polyester swab?

"Polyester swab" covers two very different products. Knitted polyester swabs are low-lint cleaning swabs for electronics, optics and cleanrooms. Sterile polyester swabs are Puritan fiber-tip swabs for specimen and cell collection. Every polyester-tipped swab we carry is on this page; use the table to narrow it down.

How to choose

Cleaning: start with knitted polyester. Paddle and rectangular tips cover flat surfaces; small, mini and flange tips reach slots and edges. Cleanroom-rated Tekniswab and Puritan options are also listed under polyester cleanroom swabs.

Collection: choose sterile Puritan polyester. Puritan describes the tip as non-absorbent and free of fatty acids and latent sugars. If the sample travels dry, see dry transport swabs; for swabs packed with medium, see media transport systems.

Other tips: compare foam, microfiber, flocked and cotton swabs.

Is knitted polyester the same as the polyester on medical swabs?

No. Knitted polyester tips are made from knitted polyester fabric and are used for low-lint cleaning. Sterile medical polyester swabs have polyester fiber tips and are packed sterile for specimen collection. They are not interchangeable.

Which polyester swabs are sterile?

Only the Puritan medical polyester swabs, including the transport-tube versions. The knitted, nonwoven and bulk 10,000-per-case polyester swabs are non-sterile.
