Swiftsure was founded by a critical care nurse, Deanne McCarthy RN. As a practicing nurse, she became frustrated with the lack of tools to perform quick, safe, and clinically efficacious oral care. She decided to do something about it, founded Swiftsure, and invented the SwishKit.

The SwishKit is the only device that safely rinses and suctionsdeep in the oral cavity of mechanically ventilated patients.
