Diagnostic Swabs
Polyurethane Foam Swabs
Foamtec Medical is the world’s largest vertically integrated manufacturer of diagnostic swabs.
Nasopharyngeal Swabs
Nasopharyngeal foam swabs capture large amounts of mucus and saliva and efficiently release them into the transport medium. This capability is crucial for detecting bacterial and viral infections.
Oropharyngeal Swabs
Oropharyngeal (OP) foam swabs from Foamtec Medical are designed for use in the oropharynx and anterior nares, effectively collecting and transferring mucus and saliva to transport tubes. This ensures a high recovery rate of microorganisms present, leading to accurate analytical testing outcomes.
Our polyurethane foam swabs for PCR detection of a wide range of respiratory viruses, including but not limited to:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Rhinoviruses
- Enteroviruses (Picornaviridae)
- Influenza viruses (Orthomyxoviridae)
- Parainfluenza
- Metapneumoviruses
