GUILFORD, Maine, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Puritan Medical
Products Company, the leading manufacturer of specialty tip
medical/diagnostic swabs and applicators in North America, has
announced the introduction of a new line of high performance
flocked products. The new HydraFlock ™ and UltraFlock™
swabs both offer superior absorption capabilities coupled with
extremely rapid release performance.
Both products are patent pending in Europe, where the
applications for both have been published — refer to
application #: EP 2 263 548 A2 & EP 2 263 549 A2. Patent
applications have also been filed in China, Japan, Canada,
Australia, and the United States.
The development of these products is a direct result of
Puritan’s ongoing effort to meet the evolving needs of the
diagnostic market, which has led to a rapid expansion of the
company over the last two years.
“We’ve had to evolve and be diverse,” says Timothy Templet,
Executive Vice President of Sales. “Human diagnostic testing
is a fast changing market, and we’re making the commitment to stay
at the forefront of this market.”
Puritan’s unique proprietary process affords a combination of
sophisticated fiber creation and innovative applications, yielding
a specimen collection device with extremely high performance
metrics. This is achieved without the addition of fiber
treatments, resulting in a sample collection device that’s totally
free of interfering substances which can negatively affect the
integrity of the swab.
