The materials are quite different:
Medical cotton swabs: there are very strict requirements in the production. Generally, medical absorbent cotton and natural birch wood are selected to be made. They must be made according to the standards and pharmaceutical industry standards. Once the standards are not met, they can not be listed on the market; Ordinary cotton swab: general selection of ordinary cotton, sponge head or cloth head made; The grades are quite different:

Ordinary cotton swab: generally conductive products;
Different uses:
Medical cotton swab: it is mainly used for wound treatment. It is required that the product * * has no irritation to human body, skin or body, and requires strong water absorption; Common cotton swab: widely used and low cost, but can not be used for wound treatment; Storage conditions are quite different: Medical cotton swab: because of its limited use, in order to avoid problems in use, it is required to keep it in a non corrosive and ventilated environment, and it should not be high temperature, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%; Ordinary cotton swab: basically no requirement, as long as it is dustproof and waterproof.
