The Z-Tip protective brush tip for medical brushes is for endoscopic cleaning brushes and cytology brushes, which require smooth tips to protect sensitive and expensive equipment, ensure proper cell selection, and provide patient safety. According to the manufacturer, traditional insert-molded tips and light-cured acrylic tips have flaws that lead to scratching. The new manufacturing process uses high-energy fusion welding technologies, which lets the company melt a pre-constructed core wire section of a twisted wire brush or stylet into a consistent, smooth, and inseparable protective tip.

Advantages:
• Mirror-like surface and therefore won’t scratch or scar.
• One-piece construction, which means that the tip cannot fall off, the wire cannot protrude through the tip, and the entire brush is stronger and will not unravel.
• Fully automated inline process that makes the product economical to the buyer and ensures uniformity for every brush.
• No biocompatibility issues because the Z-Tip is metallurgical unit, and there’s no need to get separate FDA approval for the tip.
• The manufacturing process is not petroleum-based.
