Swabs are not all made the same, and Purflock Ultra swabs from Puritan are made in a unique way. Traditional swabs are made of compressed cotton, rayon or polyester fibers that may be inadequate at collecting and releasing specimens for some tests. Only about 15% of collected organisms can be recovered from traditional swabs as the nature of the spun fiber entraps the sample. Purflock Ultra flocked medical swabs, on the other hand, are designed for rapid diagnostic testing and molecular assay. They rely on the finest fiber that is integrated with shafts eliminating the need for adhesive and fiber treatment.
Purflock Ultra Swabs also deliver a two-in-one punch thanks to the intricate fiber structure. Flocked fibers are arranged around the handle tip and create a velvet-like brush tip. The fibers are fully integrated and securely adhered to the shaft. The swabs collect and maintain more specimen than traditional swabs, and also release more of it and faster. The complex fiber structure ensures more specimen stays on the surface, so it is easier to release.
The swabs are great for use in:
The swab shaft s are available with several break-point options for various vial sizes while the different tip sizes improve flexibility and comfort.
