Dukal ST02 - Oral Swabsticks, Untreated, 1/PK, 250 PK/BX, 4 BX/CS
Dukal ST02 Oral Swabsticks are individually packaged, untreated oral care tools designed for gentle mouth cleaning in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home-care environments. Each swabstick features a soft foam tip and is intended for single-patient, single-use application, supporting strict infection control practices. With 250 packs per box and 4 boxes per case, this product is ideal for organizations that require a reliable, high-volume oral hygiene supply.
Key Benefits
The untreated foam tip provides a safe and gentle way to clean the mouth, especially for patients who cannot tolerate traditional toothbrushes. Because they contain no added solutions, they offer full flexibility for caregivers to use with water, oral moisturizers, mouthwash, or dentifrice as needed. The soft, non-abrasive foam reduces irritation and is suitable for sensitive oral tissues, making it ideal for patients with limited mobility, dry mouth, or post-surgical needs. Individually wrapped packaging ensures hygiene and prevents cross-contamination.
Usage Guidelines
Open the package and remove the swabstick just before use. Moisten the foam tip with water or an oral solution if needed. Gently clean the teeth, gums, tongue, and inner cheeks using slow, controlled motions. Use additional swabsticks for thorough cleaning. Do not reuse. Discard immediately after use. For patients with difficulty swallowing, perform oral care only under supervision to ensure safety.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Dukal oral hygiene products are manufactured under rigorous quality controls to ensure safety, consistency, and compliance with healthcare hygiene requirements. Each swabstick is individually wrapped in a controlled environment to reduce contamination risk and support clinical infection prevention standards.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with pre-treated swabsticks or reusable oral care tools, Dukal ST02 offers maximum flexibility and improved hygiene through its single-use format. The untreated design allows caregivers to choose their preferred cleansing solution, making it adaptable for various clinical protocols. Facilities often select this product over standard toothbrushes, cotton swabs, or multipurpose sponges due to its superior gentleness and safety for sensitive or medically fragile patients.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is widely used by nurses, caregivers, respiratory therapists, dental assistants, and home health aides. It is ideal for patients with limited oral mobility, individuals recovering from surgery, those at risk of aspiration, elderly residents, and anyone unable to tolerate brushing with bristles. The swabsticks are also commonly included in community hygiene kits and emergency preparedness supplies.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store swabsticks in a cool, dry place. Open individual packs only at the time of use. Dispose of each swabstick immediately after use according to facility waste disposal protocols. Follow all facility-specific oral care guidelines, especially for high-risk or non-responsive patients requiring frequent mouth cleaning and moisture maintenance.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For oral cleansing only. Avoid use in patients unable to tolerate oral stimulation without professional supervision. Do not insert swabsticks into the throat or allow chewing on the foam tip. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Follow all clinical hygiene and disposal regulations.
