Puritan® patented HydraFlock® and PurFlock Ultra® flocked swabs are designed with people in mind - the professionals that use them and the patient at the end of the swab.
Why use flock instead of cotton, rayon, or other spun fibers? Flocked swabs are proven to collect more specimen and elute the maximum available specimen when placed in transport media, as compared to spun fiber swabs.
Each fiber of PurFlock Ultra® flock is made up of several finer, individual microfibers, working together to absorb the maximum amount of sample. Puritan® HydraFlock® fibers take it one step further, these thirsty fibers burst out into a floret structure at the ends, thereby increasing the surface area of each fiber and increasing absorption and release. This means more viable specimen is collected and released for testing.
PurFlock Ultra® and HydraFlock® swabs are available sterile and non-sterile and with many options, including:
- Swab length
- Tip shape and size
- Breakpoints
- Dry transport tubes
Trust Puritan - the swab experts - for all your specimen collection needs.
