  • DESIGN OF 3D-PRINTED NASOPHARYNGEAL SWABS
    Publication number: 20230255606
    Abstract: Improved nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19 or other molecular diagnostic testing are discussed herein. Swab designs for adult use are not suitable for pediatric use. Swabs for pediatric use need to be smaller and more flexible to navigate delicate pediatric nasopharyngeal cavities. A novel use of maxillofacial CT scans to aid in the design of pediatric nasopharyngeal swabs satisfying such criteria is discussed. Further, the novel swabs are also suitable for 3D printing.
