Save time, reduce errors, and ensure high-quality pinworm sample collection

Parents facing a possible pinworm infection are often instructed to perform a home test using rigid or unprotected adhesive materials.

SoftSwipe replaces those non-soft methods with a gentle, guided kit that returns a sample your laboratory can actually use.

The problem you inherit

Why parents struggle with non-soft methods

When the method is uncomfortable or unclear, the sample suffers — and a sample that fails arrives back as a wrong diagnosis or a repeat test.

Non-soft methods often:

  • Pull on the child’s delicate skin
  • Feel uncomfortable or frightening
  • Increase the risk of contamination
  • Make accurate pinworm sample collection difficult
  • Add stress to an already unpleasant situation
  • SoftSwipe Complete Kit

Our Pinworm Kit

Modern testing kits

Products such as SoftSwipe simplify the tape test by integrating:

  • A finger tube with medical-grade adhesive tape
  • A ready-to-use microscope slide
  • A mailing-safe UN3373 transport tube

These kits reduce contamination risk, improve user comfort, and streamline laboratory workflows.

Ask your doctor or laboratory about SoftSwipe Test Kit availability.

How the test sample is collected

01
Sample in the morning

Perform the test in the morning, before the child uses the toilet or bathes.

Apply the tape

Press the sticky side of transparent tape to the skin around the anus.

03
Transfer to the slide

Place the tape on a microscope slide.

04
Repeat for three mornings

Repeat for three mornings in a row for highest accuracy.

05
Return the sample

Deliver or mail the slide(s) to your doctor or laboratory.

SoftSwipe Finger Tube

A finger-tube that is gentle, protective and hygienic

SoftSwipe introduces a soft, flexible finger-tube that surrounds and protects the parent’s finger — providing a gentle surface during collection, unlike non-soft options that place the finger directly against sensitive skin.

  • Medical-grade adhesive

How the soft design improves the test

Parents consistently report that the soft tube significantly reduces stress—for both child and adult—during pinworm sample collection.

  • Prevents direct finger-to-skin contact, improving hygiene
  • Feels comforting rather than cold or abrasive
  • Reduces irritation in children experiencing symptoms
  • Helps parents perform the test with confidence
  • Keeps the adhesive surface controlled and stable

Medical-grade adhesive

Medical-grade adhesive for a more reliable pinworm sample

The SoftSwipe Finger Tube uses a clinically approved, medical-grade adhesive engineered to capture eggs effectively during a pinworm test. Instead of household tape or rigid paddles, this adhesive is designed specifically for biological collection.

This adhesive is one of the key reasons SoftSwipe helps achieve more reliable pinworm infection diagnoses.

Benefits of the medical-grade adhesive:

  • Securely collects eggs even when pinworm symptoms are mild
  • Transfers cleanly to the microscope slide without losing adhesion
  • Ensures a laboratory-ready pinworm sample every time
  • Reduces risk of sample failure and repeat testing
  • Improves the accuracy of the final pinworm test

A guided process

Clear instructions that support parents during symptoms

When a child develops pinworm symptoms, parents often feel unsure about the correct steps. SoftSwipe includes clear instructions with illustrations to ensure every family—regardless of experience—can perform a proper pinworm test.

By following the structured process, parents can focus on helping their child rather than interpreting unclear instructions.

The step-by-step instruction

01
Reduces uncertainty for first-time users
02
Supports families unfamiliar with medical tasks
03
Ensures a correct pinworm sample on the first attempt
04
Helps parents respond quickly when pinworm symptoms begin
05
Prevents errors common in traditional non-soft methods

A cleaner, safer way to transfer the pinworm sample

SoftSwipe offers a controlled transfer system where the adhesive—with the pinworm sample—is pressed directly onto a microscope slide. This is far safer and cleaner than manually sticking household tape to a slide, which can fold, wrinkle, or trap air. For parents, this means less confusion. For laboratories, it means higher-quality specimens.

SoftSwipe’s direct-to-slide workflow:

  • Protects the integrity of the pinworm sample
  • Prevents contamination common in non-soft techniques
  • Ensures the pinworm test is easy for the laboratory to process
  • Reduces the need to repeat the pinworm test
  • Helps speed up pinworm treatment decisions

Multi-day accuracy

A pinworm infection does not produce eggs every night

That is why doctors often recommend collecting more than one sample over several mornings. SoftSwipe offers both 1-day and 3-day options — each day uses a fresh finger-tube and slide, with no component reuse.

For clear, present symptoms

SoftSwipe 1-day kit

Ideal for children already showing clear pinworm symptoms, where a single morning sample is appropriate.

  • One fresh finger-tube and slide
  • Quickest path to a lab-ready sample
  • Complete with UN3373 return packaging

For irregular egg-laying patterns

SoftSwipe 3-day kit

Increases detection across mornings and improves early treatment success when symptoms are intermittent.

  • Three fresh finger-tubes and slides
  • Higher detection of irregular patterns
  • Everything for accurate, repeatable results
Order a product sample

Parents have everything needed for accurate, repeatable results — no component reuse is required.

Return packaging

Clean, compliant, and eco-friendly return packaging

SoftSwipe includes everything needed to send the sample immediately and confidently. Older non-soft techniques may require families to find their own packaging or rely on informal solutions.

  • A UN3373-compliant return envelope in 100% paper
  • A protective mail-tube
  • Secure transport tubes for each slide
