Alcohol Swabs

Alcohol swabs, saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol, disinfect cuts, scrapes, and skin. Prepackaged to retain effectiveness, they prevent contamination and infections. Widely used in clinics, hospitals, and first aid kits, alcohol swabs are for external, single use only. Disinfecting before injections or blood draws reduces infection risks. Proper disposal of used swabs with blood traces is essential, considering them as biomedical waste. Application involves swabbing the skin, allowing it to dry before medical procedures.
