The first is the difference in materials. Medical cotton swabs have very strict production requirements and are made according to national standards and industry standards in medicine. Medical cotton swabs are generally made of medical absorbent cotton and natural birch. Most cotton swabs are ordinary cotton, sponge head or cloth head.

The second is the difference in usage characteristics. Medical cotton swabs must be non-toxic, non-irritating to human skin or body, and have good water absorption. However, domestic cotton swabs are widely used, low in production cost and not strict in use requirements.

Third, the difference in product grades. Medical cotton swabs are generally used to treat wounds, so they must be sterilization-grade products and can be used when opened. Life cotton swabs are generally conductive products.

Finally, the difference of storage conditions. Medical cotton swabs should be kept in a non-corrosive and well-ventilated room, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. However, there is basically no strict requirement for cotton swabs in this respect, as long as they are dustproof and waterproof, they can be stored. In terms of purchasing channels, medical cotton swabs can only be purchased in regular pharmacies and hospitals, and life cotton swabs can be purchased at any time.
