Asking somebody to spit in a cup may not sound like a pleasant task, but it is if you need it for a medical test. It’s a little awkward and messy. However, there is a cleaner and much easier way to collect samples without creating a mess of a surgical theater — disposable oral care sponge swabs!
We use small tubes with a cotton tip on one end called oral swabsticks. To use them, you just slide the cotton tip into your mouth and rub at your gums and tongue lightly for a few seconds. This small step in turn allows the swab to gather essential specimen material (including DNA) from your mouth. Doctors can use this information — and test some of those samples for health-related purposes — to know more about you.
