Manufactured with Allium flock technology that produces a precision scalloped surface resulting in cava. This design creates a greater surface area to absorb and help collect larger amounts of specimen. Allium flock technology refers to the unique ability of the nylon fibers, which are attached with medical-grade nontoxic water-based glue, to adapt to the direction the swab is being pushed/pulled, resulting in less friction and an overall more pleasant experience for both the medical professional and the patient. The notched 80-mm shaft, with no breakpoint, increases grip and dexterity while also reducing the amount of stress on the practitioner. It is the perfect size for rapid and easy collection.
