Traditionally, medical swabs were made from cotton gauze as this was the most suitable material available. In recent years the development of man made materials or "non-wovens" have had a considerable impact on this market area replacing many of the cotton based products previously used for wound treatment procedures, particulary outside of theatres.

There are recognised benefits in the use of both types of material, depending on the procedure being carried out.

Swab, Absorbent Non-Woven Material.

Non-woven swabs are extremely soft and gentle to the touch yet strong and durable even when wet.

The swabs have high levels of absorption fast wicking and are extremely low linting.

Low adhesion, important when treating open wounds.
