alcohol pad

Alcohol pre pad is a gauze pad that has been saturated with alcohol. It is an important part of any first aid kit, as it helps to clean and disinfect cuts and scrapes. These swabs are also used in doctor’s offices, at shot clinics and any other place where quick, easy cleaning of an area is needed. The alcohol helps to rid the skin and other surfaces of potential sources of infection.

High-quality swabs are available from many sources. These are the type used by nurses to clean an area right before giving an injection, or to clean a wound, clear out pus or for any similar procedure. The swabs come prepackaged in small, foil pouches, ensuring the alcoholdoesn’t evaporate and the alcohol swab is ready for use when it is needed. The packaged is ripped open, the swab is removed and used, and then both the package and the alcohol swabare discarded. If the swab has any blood or other material on it, is must be handled as bio-hazardous waste.
