Hello,

In other life, I was first responder. I kept expired products for teaching.

Now can I use swabs for camera cleaning ?

Probably not for sensor cleaning .... any imperfection in the swab might scratch the cover glass.

Tend to stick with Visible Dust products ...https://visibledust.com/index.php

I would also want to test the swab for degradation depending on the age ... lint, oils or fibers
that could be left behind ... probably not an issue on the camera body but there a microfiber cloth
might be best.

thanks Bob for answer.
As with many health care products, manufacturer only warranty seal for a short period (their interest). But in fact product can be used a long long time after !
I keep your advice to not use for sensor...

I agree

Was a cardiac anesthesiologist for 40 years and did a lot of medical relief missions in Central America and
West Africa .... learned early on that nothing expires the way they label it ... if stored correctly.

agree ! Until packaging porosity is not affected you can keep products... But in ambulance you have to keep products up to date in case a lawyer wants to make money

I have another tool but I have an idea to use it

Lovely shade of blue
