Dryswab® is MWE’s complete range of dry swabs including cotton swabs, rayon swabs, dacron swabs in different sizes, and formats to suit most applications.
Dryswab® is the only UK manufactured dry swab and has been widely used through the pandemic by governments and customers globally.
The swab shaft can be standard plastic, fine plastic (very flexible and doesn’t break readily), straight wire (urethral) and fine twisted wire (paediatric and nasopharyngeal).
For most clinical applications it is recommended that the swab bud should be rayon, polyester, polyurethane, foam or flock. For some applications buds of calcium alginate, albumin coated, or cotton may be specified.
The swab can then be supplied with a labelled tube. If the tube is not required, most swab types can be supplied sterile in individual peel pouches, or in bulk packaging.
