Scopettes Jr. OB/GYN & Specimen Collection Swabsticks

Scopettes Jr. swabsticks from Birchwood Laboratories are the workhorse of gynecological exams and specimen collection. The 8-inch paper shaft gives clinicians the reach and control needed for internal procedures, while the large rayon swab tip absorbs efficiently for prepping, cleansing, and sample gathering without shredding or leaving fibers behind.

Two configurations cover most clinical needs. The Scopettes Jr. OB/GYN Swabstick (34-7021-12) is built for prepping and cleaning during pelvic exams and outpatient gynecological procedures. The Scopettes Jr. Specimen Collection Swabstick (34-7027-12) is intended for gathering samples for testing and cultures. Both feature the same 8-inch paper shaft and large white rayon tip, and both are non-sterile — an important distinction to confirm against your protocol, since non-sterile swabsticks are appropriate for external prep and many collection tasks but not for procedures requiring a sterile field.

Why do practices keep reordering these? The rayon tip holds up to fluids better than cotton and won't interfere with common diagnostic assays the way some cotton fibers can. The longer shaft keeps a clinician's hands clear of the exam area, and the sturdy paper handle bends without snapping. They're sold in convenient counts for busy OB/GYN offices, women's health clinics, and labs that move through swabsticks by the box.

When you're stocking your exam room, it pays to buy the disposables together. Explore related single-use and patient-care lines including Essential Care Jr, EquaCare Jr, and Veni-Gard TM JR to round out your supply order.
