The gentle way to collect a pinworm sample at home

Three perspectives on one problem
Different People – Different Challenges
From parents to healthcare professionals, traditional pinworm sampling creates unnecessary friction throughout the entire process.
SoftSwipe is designed to make collection simpler, clearer, and more reliable for everyone involved.
Parent and Child
Taking a pinworm sample is considered stressful due to the intimacy, lack of instructions, soft and hygienic tools and inconvenience in manual sample return.
Doctor and Nurse
Verbal instruction of parents and patients takes time and does not eliminate misunderstandings. Re-sampling and side effects from hard collection devices is a risk.
Laboratory
Collected samples may be contaminated or arrive after several days of delay, challenging the analysis and the correct result.

SoftSwipe by GP Medical Devices
Designed and developed for comfort and accuracy
Five reasons families, clinicians and laboratories choose SoftSwipe over traditional “non-soft” collection methods.
01
Gentle and child-friendly
A soft, protective finger tube feels comfortable on the skin — unlike traditional, rigid, “non-soft” methods. This helps reduce anxiety during pinworm infection testing.
02
Hygienic and safe
The protected design keeps the parent’s finger away from sensitive skin and the adhesive surface, helping you collect a cleaner, safer pinworm sample.
03
High-quality sample collection
Medical-grade adhesive ensures the pinworm sample transfers cleanly onto the microscope slide, improving the accuracy of the pinworm test.
04
Clear, simple instructions
Step-by-step guidance shows exactly how to perform the pinworm test — even if this is your first time dealing with a pinworm infection.
05
Ready for the lab
The completed slide goes straight into the included, UN3373-compliant mailing materials — no guesswork, no extra supplies needed. Faster sample return means faster pinworm treatment.
