Dynarex 1201 Povidone Iodine Swabsticks 1 swabstick per pack (Box of 50)

Applying povidone iodine is an essential first step in minor surgeries and in taking care of cuts, scrapes, and burns. It is an antiseptic that helps clean and prep the skin before and after a procedure takes place. Usually, it comes in a bottle which you will then pour directly on the affected area and spread with a swabstick. While this method works, but it’s not very efficient. To apply povidone iodine with little to no hassle, you need these ready-made swabsticks! Each swabstick comes in its own individual foil pack. That helps keep the swabsticks fresh for long periods of time. At the same time, the foil packs also make it easy to whip them out in times of emergency. Instead of fumbling with a pack that contain multiple swabsticks, you can just easily open the foil packet and get the one swabstick that you need. On top of that, the separate packs keep the swabsticks sanitary so it’s ready for use at any time. When applying povidone iodine, it's important that the tip of the swabstick remains sterile. That's why these swabsticks come with 4-inch shafts. At the end of the swabsticks are applicator tips. This is the only part of the swabsticks that makes contact with the affected area. It helps you distribute the povidone iodine evenly. The swabsticks come saturated with a 10% solution of povidone iodine. The amount in these swabsticks make it easy for you not to overuse povidone iodine, as overusing it may lead to corrosive effects. It also helps you avoid applying it on unnecessary areas, which may then lead to swelling or pain. So that you’re sure that you are using new and sanitary tools for any procedure, these swabsticks are single-use. This also helps you make sure that the surrounding area is clean and tidy after the procedure is done. Once thrown away, curious toddlers at home, or even pets, won’t be able to pick them up or play with them to avoid any untoward incidents.
