Smith+Nephew I.V. PREP Antiseptic Wipes 50 Count

Product Overview

The Smith+Nephew I.V. PREP Antiseptic Wipes are single-use, sterile wipes pre-saturated with a proven antiseptic solution. Designed for use before intravenous catheter insertion, blood draws, or other minor skin-breaking procedures, these wipes help reduce the microbial count on the skin, lowering the risk of infection. Each pack contains 50 individually wrapped wipes, ensuring a fresh, sterile wipe for each application. The compact packaging (4.25 x 2.36 x 2.36 inches) makes them easy to store in medical bags, clinics, or home first-aid kits.

Key Features and Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action: Formulated to kill a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin.
• Sterile and Single-Use: Each wipe is individually sealed to maintain sterility until the moment of use, preventing cross-contamination.
• Convenient 50-Count Pack: Bulk supply reduces reordering frequency, ideal for high-volume settings.
• Easy to Use: Simply open the foil packet, remove the wipe, and cleanse the intended area using a firm, circular motion.
• Trusted Brand: Smith+Nephew is a global leader in wound care and infection prevention, backed by decades of clinical expertise.

How to Use

Step 1: Wash hands thoroughly before handling the wipe. Step 2: Tear open the foil packet at the notch. Step 3: Remove the folded wipe and unfold it completely. Step 4: Wipe the skin site firmly in a circular motion, starting at the center and moving outward. Ensure the area is visibly wet with the antiseptic solution. Step 5: Allow the antiseptic to air dry completely (typically 30 seconds to 2 minutes) before proceeding with the procedure. Do not blot or wipe away the solution. Step 6: Dispose of the used wipe in a proper waste container.

Who It Is For

These wipes are designed for healthcare professionals including nurses, phlebotomists, paramedics, and physicians who perform venipuncture, IV catheter insertion, or other minor skin punctures. They are also suitable for patients requiring regular injections or blood draws at home, under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, they can be used in emergency kits, first-aid stations, and travel medical supplies where sterile skin preparation is needed.
