Traditionally, the bud on the swab has consisted of a spun fibre such as cotton, rayon, polyester or calcium alginate wound round the end of the shaft which would be wood, plastic or wire. In recent years, novel bud materials have been introduced, such as soft cellular polyurethane foam, or flocked fibres which can give improved uptake and release of specimens. Medical Wire have extensive ranges of swabs utilising either spun fibres, cellular foam, or multifilament flock fibres, with something suitable for many applications.

BST metal detectable silicone lanyards are produced from 1.0 mm thick food grade silicone cord containing evenly dispersed metal detectable additives. As well as the silicone cord being detectable, the various metal parts also add to the items detectability. These lanyards also incorporate a silverbased antibacterial/antimicrobial additive which is extremely effective against E-Coli, MRSA & Salmonella.

The silicone cord features an optional 6mm diameter hole at the back of the neck to act as a deliberate weak point – allowing the lanyard to break at a reasonable force to prevent trapping accidents. We highly recommend that customers carry out their own testing and risk assessments before introducing to your production environment.

• Cord Length: 1000mm
• Cord Width: 12mm
• Cord Thickness: 1mm
• Hanging Length: 480mm (Approx.)

Tip - Rayon: Rayon, also known as Viscose, is a processed form of cellulose and has been found to be particularly suitable for the recovery of microorganisms. The texture is similar to that of cotton, but it has none of the fatty acids or other substances that can be inhibitory to fastidious bacteria. It has also been shown to be compatible with many molecular based diagnostic tests. Rayon buds are used on most of our transport swabs.
