Starswab II Specimen Collection and Transport System

Starswab II Specimen Collection and Transport System is a medical device designed to collect and transfer clinical specimens for microbiological and diagnostic testing. It includes a 6-inch sterile swab with a soft, absorbent tip for easy and pleasant sample collection from a variety of locations, including the throat, nasal passages, and wounds. The system contains a transport tube with a medium that maintains the specimen's viability during transit to the laboratory. Its sterile packing prevents contamination, making it critical for reliable diagnostic outcomes.

Features:

• The media tube is designed with a spiral groove, round bottom media chamber which keeps the sample immersed and protected in the media while allowing easy racking
• Provides excellent recovery in routine bacteriology and is compatible with gram stain and many rapid screening methods
• Shelf life is 18 months
• Gamma sterilized and wrapped in sterile, easy-to-peel envelope
