Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cotton-tipped applicator and a swabstick?
A cotton-tipped applicator is a wood, plastic or paper shaft with a cotton tip used for specimen collection, application and cleaning, and is stocked plain in sterile and non-sterile forms. A swabstick is typically a foam or cotton-tipped stick pre-saturated with a prep or cleansing agent, or supplied dry in multi-packs for skin prep. Both are stocked; applicators are used broadly while prep swabsticks are stocked for skin antisepsis.
Are sterile and non-sterile cotton products both stocked?
Yes. Cotton-tipped applicators, cotton balls, cotton rolls and pledgets are stocked in both sterile and non-sterile formats. Non-sterile bulk cotton products are used for general nursing and cleaning, while sterile individually packaged applicators and cotton products are stocked for procedure and wound care use.
Which applicator and basin brands are carried?
The catalog stocks cotton-tipped applicators and swabs from Dukal, Dynarex, Puritan and Medline, cotton balls and rolls from Dukal and Richmond, and irrigation syringes and procedure and emesis basins from Medline and McKesson. Brand-agnostic value cotton products are stocked for high-volume basics.
Can hospitals order applicators, swabs and basins in bulk?
Yes. Cotton-tipped applicators, swabsticks, cotton products, irrigation syringes and procedure basins are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, clinics, laboratories and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-velocity SKUs such as 6-inch cotton-tipped applicators, cotton balls and emesis basins. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What applicators, swabs and basins should be in a facility formulary?
A comprehensive applicator and basin formulary typically includes non-sterile and sterile cotton-tipped applicators in 3 and 6 inch lengths, prep swabsticks, cotton balls and cotton rolls, piston and bulb irrigation syringes, and emesis and procedure basins. Optional additions depend on facility case mix, such as wound irrigation kits for wound care centers.
