Global Swab Market Definition

Swabs also called wipes are medicated absorbent materials or pads. We can use them as wound cleansers. However, it is used in medicine, surgery, pre-injection swabs, or a first aid kit. It comprises an absorbent material exposing the medical properties to the swab. An antiseptics swab is a medical product due to its active ingredients exhibiting specific actions. These consist of antiseptics including cetrimide or iodine, and chlorhexidine. Different kinds of swabs include foam swabs, cotton swabs, and non-woven swabs. Medical swabs are used to collect microbiological cultures. Swabs are coated onto the microbial area and subsequently, wiped over the culture plate where the bacteria on the swab may grow rapidly. The application areas include Pharmaceutical, Microbiological, Laboratory, and Others.
