The main materials of non-woven fabric swabs are usually composed of viscose fibers, polyester fibers or cotton blends, which are mainly made of fibers bonded together through mechanical, chemical or heat treatment processes. Unlike traditional yarn-woven gauze, non-woven fabric has higher strength, water absorption and sterility. Swabs made of non-woven fabric have excellent performance in absorbing exudate and cleaning wounds. Coupled with higher economic benefits, non-woven fabric swabs have gradually become a popular choice for global medical professionals and purchasers.
