Swab

Sterile swabs (“Sterile Swab Sticks”) and their main characteristics are as follows:

Sterility: They are individually packaged and labeled “STERILE SWAB STICK,” indicating that they are intended for medical or laboratory use requiring a sterile environment.

Single Use: As sterile consumables, they are designed for single use only to prevent cross-contamination.

Design: Each swab consists of a plastic stick and one end covered with an absorbent material (cotton).

Identification: The packaging includes fields for recording information such as the name (“NAME”), date (“DATE”), time (“HOUR”), bed (“BED”), and reference (“REF”), essential for sample tracking.

Certification: The presence of the “CE” marking indicates compliance with European Union health, safety, and environmental protection standards.

Application: These swabs are commonly used for collecting biological samples (nasal, oropharyngeal, skin, etc.) for diagnostic purposes, particularly for the detection of infectious diseases.
