Small Foam Tipped Lint Free Cleaning Swab with Short Handle

MediTech FS-741 is a small foam cleaning swab with a short, rigid polypropylene handle, designed for precision cleaning in small, confined, and hard-to-reach areas. Its 100 PPI open-cell polyurethane foam tip provides high solvent absorption, controlled release, and soft, non-abrasive contact for delicate components and surfaces.

The thermally bonded foam head is manufactured without adhesives and is designed for low particle generation and low non-volatile residue (NVR). The foam material is free from silicone, amide, and DOP, making FS-741 suitable for a wide range of industrial, electronics, laboratory, and cleanroom cleaning applications.

Features:

• Superior Cleanroom Performance: Made from 100 PPI polyurethane foam, offering ultra-low particle release and NVR (non-volatile residue).
• Lint-Free & Non-Abrasive: Soft foam head protects fragile optical lenses, micro-circuitry, and delicate medical devices from scratching.
• Thermally Bonded Head: No adhesive or glues used during production, preventing chemical contamination of sensitive components.
• Short & Rigid Handle: Compact handle design provides superior dexterity and control when operating in confined spaces.
• Excellent Solvent Compatibility: Compatible with common cleanroom solvents, including Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), ethyl alcohol, and acetone. 
• ESD safe handle (Optional)

Applications:

• Electronics & Semiconductor Assembly: Cleaning delicate micro-components, connectors, and PCB boards.
• Optics & Photonics: Removing dust and residue from camera lenses, sensors, and optical instruments.
• Thermal Printer Maintenance: Safe cleaning of thermal printheads, sensors, and rollers.
• Laboratory & Medical Use: Precision sampling, spot cleaning, and applying fluids in laboratory testing.

According to customer needs to determine

Q1: What is the FS-741 foam swab used for?

A: The FS-741 is designed for precision cleaning, solvent application, residue removal, and general maintenance. Typical applications include electronics, PCB assemblies, connectors, precision components, laboratory equipment, and small or confined surfaces.

Q2: Can the FS-741 foam swab be used with IPA?

A: Yes. The FS-741 is designed to be compatible with common cleaning solvents, including IPA. Always verify material compatibility and cleaning-process requirements before using a solvent on a specific component or surface.

Q3: Is an ESD-safe version available?

A: Yes. MediTech offers an ESD-safe version of the FS-741 for applications involving static-sensitive components.

Q4: What is the difference between a foam swab and a cotton swab?

A: Foam swabs and cotton swabs have different material and performance characteristics. Polyurethane foam provides controlled solvent absorption and release and is well suited to precision cleaning applications where low particle generation is important. The appropriate swab should be selected according to the surface, contaminant, solvent, and cleanliness requirements.

Q5: Can I request an FS-741 foam swab sample?

A: Yes, free samples are available for evaluation. Contact the sales team to confirm sample availability and shipping arrangements.
