Medical iodophor swab is a very common product in hospitals. Its main function is sterilization. How should we use this product? Let's give you a detailed introduction.

Medical iodophor swab is named because it contains iodophor. It has a strong anti-virus and bactericidal effect, can strongly kill viruses and bacteria, and ensure safety and health. The concentration of iodophor commonly used in medicine is generally about 1%, which can be wiped directly with the skin.
But he also has its contraindications, that is, people who are allergic to iodine should use it with caution, so as not to achieve the sterilization effect and make it more serious. This product is for trauma only. Do not touch your eyes. If skin swelling or inflammation occurs after use, stop using immediately.
Medical iodophor swabs are widely used in medical places or daily life, but they do not care about the storage of medical iodophor swabs left after opening and use, resulting in the breeding of bacteria in medical swabs and the original disinfection cotton swabs. The medical cotton swab was contaminated by bacteria again.
In most medical places, the widely used medical iodophor cotton swab is a sterile medical cotton swab wrapped with double-layer paper. This
Sterile Cotton Swab has been widely used in clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, compared with foreign developed regions, disposable small packaging medical iodophor cotton swabs are mostly used in foreign countries, while domestic cotton swabs still choose large packaging. According to the investigation, the large package is used for a long time in the use process. Repeated extraction may increase the chance of contamination of unused cotton swabs in the package, resulting in the breeding of bacteria in
Medical Cotton Swabs.
Since medical iodophor swabs are one of the sterile medical supplies commonly used in medical diagnosis and nursing activities in medical and health institutions, the breeding of bacteria in medical iodophor swabs is completely prohibited. Medical staff are treating and caring for patients, Medical cotton swabs must be used for injection, blood transfusion and blood drawing of some patients.
In clinical work, when using cotton swabs, medical staff are used to unpacking the medical cotton swabs, putting them in the treatment vehicle or pocket, and using them repeatedly until they are used up. In many cases, the medical iodophor cotton swab packaging bag is not sealed. During the operation, the medical staff choose to tear open any point of the medical iodophor cotton swab packaging bag with both hands when opening the package. This causes most medical cotton swabs to be exposed and difficult to store. Greatly increase the probability of bacteria breeding in medical cotton swabs. Exposure of sterile cotton swabs to the air will cause pollution and hospital cross infection.
The new anti pollution independent medical iodophor cotton swab packaging bag effectively reduces the bacterial breeding problem of medical iodophor cotton swab in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and prevents cross infection in the hospital. The structure is simple and practical, which is more convenient to carry and operate. It is also very convenient to open, avoid cross infection caused by cotton swab pollution, meet the operation requirements of aseptic technology, and is widely used in medical institutions at all levels.
