Dry swabs

1250 swabs per box

Traditionally, the bud on the swab has consisted of a spun fibre such as cotton, rayon, polyester or calcium alginate wound round the end of the shaft which would be wood, plastic or wire.

In recent years, novel bud materials have been introduced, such as soft cellular polyurethane foam, or flocked fibres which can give improved uptake and release of specimens.

Medical Wire have extensive ranges of swabs utilising either spun fibres, cellular foam, or multifilament flock fibres, with something suitable for many applications.

Individual or multiple swabs are packed sterile and ready to use within an easy open tamper evident peel pouch.

These are especially suitable where the specimen is to be tested immediately or transferred to another transport container, perhaps as part of a test kit. Each peel pouch has product and batch details printed for reference and traceability.
