Home Industries Medical Consumables
Although some medical supplies can be sterilized and reused, many are still single-use consumables. Many devices cannot safely withstand the sterilization process, so they would present a serious infection hazard if they were reused between patients. Medical swabs, probes, syringes, and cannulas fall into this category, among other patient-care staples. Other consumables, such as certain types of PPE, can be reused, but only to a limited extent. For instance, surgical masks and gowns can be stored and reused during an acute PPE shortage, but only when they haven’t been contaminated, and only for a certain number of reuses. Since consumables play such a critical role in patient care and in protecting staff, it’s important to maintain a robust supply chain for medical consumables. The COVID-19 pandemic has only highlighted the importance of consumables, with infection surges leading to widespread shortages of PPE and testing supplies. These shortages have forced frontline workers to risk their own health by caring for infectious patients without adequate protective gear, causing a renewed interest in consumable supply chain optimization. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to illuminate supply chain problems, the market forconsumables and PPEis expected to grow even further in the coming years. In light of these trends, now is the perfect time to partner with E2Global to bring new consumables to market.

Flocked Swabs & Cryogenic Tubes
Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal specimens (including those for COVID-19)Consumables also include single-use sampling equipment such as flocked swabsandcryogenic tubes. Like protective clothing, disposable swabs and tubes have taken on increased importance in the wake of COVID-19 because high volumes of these supplies havebeen needed to facilitate mass testing. In diagnostic testing, swabs are inserted into the throat or nasal cavity, which are common sites for colonies of bacterial cells or viral particles. The swab therefore offers a sterile and convenient way of locating signs of infection. E2Global offers flocked swabs designed for rapid diagnostic tests based on:
- Bacteria
- Forensic evidence
- Micro-organisms
- Small-sized samples
Cryogenic tubes complement flocked swabs, offering a way to prevent contamination while specimens are stored awaiting testing. Cryo tubes, in particular, offer extreme temperature resistance, so samples can safely be kept at low temperatures for preservation.
