Rhinoswab Junior is the child friendly, pain free and easy to use way to swab children aged 4-14 years old for respiratory viruses such as flu and COVID-19. Rhinoswab Junior delivers comfort, reliability and performance, enhanced by novel features that reduce the fear and distress associated with the use of respiratory swabs for children aged 4 years and over.
Designed with children in mind, Rhinoswab’s novelty features help to reduce the anxiety and fear associated with traditional swabbing and empower children to self-collect their sample under adult supervision, both at home and in the clinic. Rhinoswab Junior can be used for rapid antigen and PCR tests, working seamlessly with existing vials and transport media.
Clinically Validated: A clinical trial at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (Melbourne, 2022) with 254 children confirmed that Rhinoswab performs as well as regular swabs in identifying respiratory viruses. Rhinoswab Junior was found to be very effective in sampling for 12 common respiratory viruses including flu and COVID-19.
