DRYSWAB™ Range – Standard Wood -145mm with Peel Pouch

MWE have been manufacturing DRYSWAB™ for over 70 years. These are the fundamental tools used to collect specimens or samples for analysis, or simply to transfer materials during a diagnostic procedure. 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. MWE have extensive ranges of swabs utilising either spun fibres, cellular foam, or multifilament flock fibres, with something suitable for many applications. MWE’s DRYSWAB™ range of products are now manufactured in the only fully automated state-of-the-art facility without any human handling. This means it reduces the possibility of any microbial or nucleic acid contamination. All our DRYSWAB™ are CE marked and CLSI-M40-A2 compliant. They are also FDA approved. MWE DRYSWAB™ are known worldwide for their excellent quality and ability to absorb and release microorganisms effectively for diagnostics.
