Puritan is committed to new product development. Our facility is equipped and staffed to promote innovation in the manufacturing of single-use products for a wide variety of applications.

Innovation in response to customer need
The Puritan product line is constantly changing and growing. Over the past few years we have developed many exciting new products in response to the needs of our customers and our markets.

Some examples include:Puritan DM-Stick™ , designed specifically to measure pressure ulcers -- Puritan® polyester fabric applicators, made for use in clean rooms, and completely free from volatile residues, particulates and lint -- Puritan Popule products, such as the X-PressPrep™ and other liquid filled self saturating swabs.

Custom design in action
Every day we work with our customers to make Puritan products that fill a specific need. Quidel Corporation is one example. You’ll find others by clicking on the Case Studies link below.

Quidel Corporation develops, manufactures and markets rapid diagnostic tests. The company came to Puritan after they had designed a specialized cassette to hold swabs for testing for strep infections. The unique shape and size of these cassettes meant Quidel could not use the traditional swabs available on the market.

Puritan’s engineering staff worked to design a swab to the exacting requirements dictated by the cassette’s size. The resulting swab has a unique head that fits into the cassette well. The shape and material of the swab also enable a very accurate sample capture to assist in test reading reliability.

In addition to the custom design, Puritan modified production processes to manufacture and QC the Quidel swab. Special scanning and electronic reading devices were installed on the production line to ensure that each swab met the strict size, configuration, and adhesive bonding requirements.

As result of this partnership, Quidel now has the custom swabs they need. Other Puritan customers also benefit. Today all Puritan production lines are being fitted with these same detection devices — one more step in the stringent quality control that helps make Puritan the brand of choice in single-use products.
