Disposable swabs are designed for single - use only and should not be reused. At Jiangsu Changfeng Medical Industry Co., Ltd., we emphasize the importance of following proper usage guidelines for disposable swabs. Reusing disposable swabs can lead to several risks. Firstly, it increases the risk of cross - contamination. Once a swab has been used, it may come into contact with bacteria, viruses, or other contaminants. Reusing it can transfer these contaminants to other surfaces or individuals, potentially causing infections or spreading diseases. Secondly, the structural integrity of the swab may be compromised after the first use. The sponge or cotton tip may become frayed or damaged, reducing its effectiveness in cleaning or sample collection. To ensure safety, accuracy, and hygiene, it is always recommended to use a new disposable swab for each application.
