Nasopharyngeal Flocked Swab

Nasopharyngeal Flocked swabs mark the newest evolution of single-use specimen collection devices. Flocking refers to a process of applying (multi length fibers) — called flocking — to an adhesive-coated surface to provide for enhanced sample collection. All flocked swabs have definite advantages for many applications. Here are five reasons flocked swabs are a good choice for lab professionals conducting specimen collection.

1. Flocked Swabs Provide Optimum Sampling
Flocked swabs are an excellent choice for use collect samples because of their ability to better collect cells or organisms at the collection site

2. Enhanced Diagnostic Sensitivity
The flocked technology turns each strand of fiber into a velvet-like brush and hence creates hundreds of thousand contact points for superior collection and release of specimen samples. 

3. Rapid Elution
 Flocked swabs are fully integrated with the handle (meaning they contain no inner fabric or other inner core to absorb the specimen), a larger amount of specimen is collected and retained. Not only does this provide for better sample yield.

4. Proprietary Multi-Length Flock Fibers
We are not the only medical products supplier to offer flocked swabs. But we are the only company that makes swabs with proprietary multi-length flock fibers.  Multi-length flock fibers create a web-like structure that collects and retains more specimen than traditional cotton, polyester or rayon swabs.

5. Convenient Handling and Transport
Our flocked swabs are available with pre-molded breakpoints, with printed indicators, so you can easily break the handle before attaching the cap to the vial. Sterile flocked swabs are available in dry transport tubes and medium filled transport tubes. After sampling, simply replace the top portion of the tube for trouble-free transport.
