Description
Key Features
Tip Material: The swab has a large, absorbent rayon tip. Rayon is a common material for medical swabs because it collects samples efficiently without shedding fibers.
Shaft Material: The shaft is made of paper, making it flexible and easy to handle during procedures.
Length: The swab has an overall length of 8 inches, which is specifically designed for examinations and procedures, providing sufficient reach.
Sterility: This product is non-sterile, so it is not intended for use in sterile procedures or on broken skin. It's typically used for external or non-sterile sample collection.
Packaging: The swabs are usually sold in bulk packages, which is common for high-volume, disposable medical supplies.
Common Uses
Sample Collection: The primary use is for collecting cytological or microbiological samples from the cervix or vaginal canal during routine gynecological exams.
Topical Application: It can be used to apply medications or other topical agents to the vaginal or cervical area.
Cleaning and Prep: The swab is often used to clean and prepare an area of skin or mucosa before a procedure.
General Medical Use: While primarily for OB/GYN, its large tip and length make it suitable for a variety of other non-sterile medical procedures that require a durable, absorbent swab.
