Sterile Gynecological Swab with Protective Tube

This sterile gynecological swab is available in two clearly defined applicator configurations: a smooth wooden shaft for firm handling or a medical-grade plastic shaft for a lightweight, moisture-resistant option. Both versions use an extended applicator, a large rounded absorbent collection tip and a fitted dry protective tube for validated vaginal or cervical specimen-collection workflows. The tube shown is a protective container and is not prefilled with transport medium unless a separate medium-filled SKU is specified.

Product Highlights

• Large rounded absorbent tip supports broad mucosal surface contact.
• Extended applicator provides reach for vaginal or cervical collection workflows.
• Fitted cap and dry protective tube shield the swab before and after collection.

Ordering Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tip materials are available?

Rayon, polyester and absorbent cotton configurations can be reviewed; availability is confirmed by SKU.

Are all tip materials interchangeable?

No. Material affects absorption, release and method compatibility, so it must follow the validated protocol.

Is the protective tube prefilled with medium?

No. This page describes a dry protective tube. If a medium-filled transport system is required, specify the exact medium separately.

Can I choose a plastic or wooden shaft?

Yes. This product family includes both a medical-grade plastic shaft option and a smooth wooden shaft option. Confirm the selected shaft material on the quotation and final SKU.

Are the wooden and plastic shafts interchangeable?

No. The validated collection method, downstream assay, required flexibility, sterility and disposal policy determine which shaft material should be used.

Is the swab sterile?

Sterile supply options may be available; confirm the method and documentation for the selected SKU.

What collection sites does it support?

The extended applicator is intended for validated vaginal or cervical collection workflows. The exact collection site and method are defined by the clinical protocol.

Why is the collection tip larger?

The large rounded absorbent tip provides a broad contact surface for gynecological sampling; it should not be confused with a narrow nasal or nasopharyngeal tip.

Can the packaging carry my brand?

OEM packaging can be discussed once the exact tip, shaft, sterility and pack format are fixed.

What should I provide for a quotation?

Provide collection site, tip and shaft preference, tube requirement, sterility, pack quantity and annual demand.
