Frequently asked questions

How does the brush ensure contamination-free sampling?

The ConMed Microbiology Brush is specifically engineered to ensure high integrity and contamination-free specimen collection, which is crucial for accurate microbiology results. This is achieved through an integrated protection mechanism:

  • The delicate 1 mm brush head is shielded by a protective wax plug upon insertion.
  • This plug maintains the brush’s sterility until the point of collection.
  • The wax plug is automatically expelled from the instrument immediately prior to the sampling procedure, ensuring only the target specimen is collected.
Is the ConMed Microbiology Brush sterile and disposable?

Yes, the ConMed Microbiology Brush is both sterile and disposable, meaning it is designed exclusively for single use.

This single-use, sterile design is crucial for maintaining the highest standards of infection control and guaranteeing contamination-free specimen collection necessary for accurate microbiology results.

Key features related to sterility:

  • Protective Mechanism: The brush head is protected by an integrated wax plug that ensures sterility until immediately before use, at which point it is automatically expelled.
  • Condition: The brushes are supplied as Factory New medical instruments.
What are the key dimensions of the microbiology brush?

The ConMed Microbiology Brush is engineered with precise dimensions to facilitate contamination-free sampling in hard-to-reach anatomical locations. The key specifications are:

  • Brush Diameter: A narrow 1 mm diameter brush head for fine sampling.
  • Sheath Diameter: The outer sheath is 1.8 mm wide.
  • Sheath Length: An extended 43.3 inches (110 cm) long sheath to allow access to specific sampling sites.
How many brushes are in one case?

Each case contains 5 individually packaged ConMed Microbiology Brushes.These are sterile, disposable instruments designed for single-use application to maintain the highest standards of contamination-free specimen collection.

What is the contamination-free brush used for?

The ConMed Microbiology Brush is a sterile, disposable instrument designed for obtaining high-integrity specimens specifically for microbiological analysis. Its primary function is to collect samples while ensuring they remain free of external contaminants.

This contamination-free collection is guaranteed by a unique integrated mechanism:

  • The delicate brush head is protected by a wax plug during insertion.
  • The wax plug is automatically expelled immediately before sampling begins, ensuring the brush remains sterile until the precise moment of collection.

Built for precision, the instrument features a narrow 1 mm brush diameter and a long 43.3-inch (110 cm) sheath, allowing access to specific anatomical locations for accurate sampling.

How does the protective wax plug work?

The integrated wax plug is a critical component designed to guarantee contamination-free specimen collection.

This mechanism ensures strict sterility by:

  • Shielding the Brush: The wax plug acts as a protective barrier, keeping the brush sterile during insertion and transit.
  • Automatic Removal: It is automatically expelled from the instrument immediately before the sampling procedure commences.

This process ensures the brush remains protected and sterile right up until the exact moment of specimen collection, which is essential for accurate microbiology results.

What is the sheath length of the brush?

The ConMed Microbiology Brush is equipped with a long sheath to facilitate extended reach during sampling procedures. The specific length of the sheath is 110 cm (43.3 inches).

What is the precise brush diameter?

The ConMed Microbiology Brush features an extremely fine brush head with a diameter of just 1 mm. This precise sizing is designed specifically for delicate and targeted specimen collection, ensuring high-quality, contamination-free samples.
