Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 25-806 1PC and 25-806 2PC?
Both use the same 6" sterile cotton swab with polystyrene handle. The 1PC format is individually wrapped single swabs (10 boxes x 100 = 1,000/case). The 2PC format is wrapped in pairs (10 boxes x 100 packages of 2 = 2,000 swabs/case), which is common for applications requiring two swabs per collection or procedure.
Are the 25-806 swabs sterile?
Yes — each swab is individually wrapped and sterile, making them suitable for specimen collection, wound care, and other applications requiring a sterile applicator. Always inspect packaging for integrity before use; do not use if the individual wrapper is damaged or compromised.
