Z-Tip v. Fan Tipped Brushes

The Fan Tipped Brush is one of the original attempts at creating protective brush tips, and it is still used today.  This is a brush where the bristles are “fanned” to provide aimal level of protection.  These brushes have several serious problems…

Z-Tip versus Fan Tipped Brushes 

  • Inadequate Protection:  The fanned bristles are simply not adequate protection from scratching, poking and scarring.
  • Wire Exposure:  The core wire can easily become exposed.
  • Limitations:  Fan tips cannot be made in all diameters commonly needed for medical twisted wire brush applications.

The Z-Tip solves these problems, because:

  • The Z-Tip is manufactured using high energy fusion welding technologies to melt the end of the twisted wire brush into a consistent, smooth and inseparable protective tip.
  • The mirror-like surface will not scratch or scar.
  • The Z-Tip is available for all commonly used twisted wire medical brush applications.
