Puritan Medical 6" Cotton Swab w/Wooden Handle - 806-WC (Box of 500)

The shafts are rigid and strong. They are great for cleaning.

We use Puritan 806-WC at my workplace. This applicator is indispensable for our operation. Uses are too many to list.These were purchased for personal use, the Amazon price better than most industrial suppliers.The cotton is bonded well to the wooden dowel. There is enough cotton to keep the dowel from poking through when used with some pressure (not in your ears kids ;) ).Great for cleaning threads after polishing or machining, detail cleaning, application of grease or lubricants, etc.Swabs were shipped in a padded envelope, I was expecting to find some broken applicators. All have been damage free so far.

These are the best cotton tipped swabs. The wooden sticks are a bit thin.

It is the perfect size to fit in a metal tube which needs to be clean.And I might say the sturdiness of the product works well, but also absorbency and value for money too.

I order cotton swabs by the case and have been using them for 38 years to clean optics on microscopes. The ONLY cotton swab that works for me is the Puritan 806-WC! The Puritan 806-WCL and Puritan 806-WCHospital are not the same. The cotton head puts out a film on the optics which takes 4-5 times longer to clean off causing the time spent on our jobs to be 4-5 times longer costing me time and money and the wood sticks break on at least 70 percent of the cotton swabs. The Puritan 806-WC are the only ones that get the job done! Don't purchase the wrong part number thinking they are the same.
