Syntervention, Inc. (Rocky Mount, NC) announces the availability of its first product, the Swiper Medical Device Foam Wiper—a sterile, biocompatible, fiber-free, foam wiper designed for the removal of blood, contrast, and other contaminants from sterile instruments and medical devices. The Swiper is highly absorbent and transfers fluid evenly to the medical device surface, efficiently cleaning catheters and guidewires by contacting and wetting the full circumference of the device.

The fiber-free and low particulate characteristics of the Swiper will minimize transfer of foreign bodies into the patient that can be found with use of cotton gauze or Telfa pads. Clinical data confirms that foreign body contamination is associated with complications and risks that increase the liability and costs to the hospital.
