Oral care swab

Oral care swabs are single-use, absorbent sticks designed to clean and moisten a patient’s mouth, helping maintain hygiene and prevent infections. They’re commonly used in healthcare settings to apply moisture, mouthwash, or medications, particularly for patients who can’t care for their oral cavity independently, such as those in intensive or long-term care.

These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical items, often supplied in sterile or pre-moistened forms for clinical use. They’re intended for professional application by nurses, caregivers, or attendants in hospitals, nursing homes, or homecare environments, where oral hygiene is critical for patient comfort and infection control.
