Woven and flocked swabs differ primarily in their fiber construction and absorption properties, making them suitable for different applications, especially in medical, diagnostic, and industrial settings.
Absorption: High liquid retention due to dense fiber structure.
Linting: May shed fibers, which can interfere with sensitive applications (e.g., DNA sampling).
Common Uses: General-purpose cleaning, wound care, and non-critical medical applications.
Absorption: Rapid liquid absorption and release (better sample collection for diagnostics).
Linting: Virtually lint-free, reducing contamination risks.
Common Uses:
Medical/Diagnostic: COVID-19 testing, DNA/RNA collection, forensic sampling.
Industrial: Precision cleaning (electronics, optics).
Key Differences
Feature Woven Swabs Flocked Swabs
Fiber Type Woven/braided fibers Short, upright fibers
Absorption High retention Fast absorption/release
Linting Possible shedding Lint-free
Precision Lower Higher (better sample collection)
Cost Usually cheaper More expensive
Best Choice?
For diagnostics (PCR, viral tests): Flocked swabs (better sample elution, no lint).
General cleaning or wound care: Woven swabs (cost-effective, high absorbency).
