Sterowipe alcohol-free cleansing wipes provide gentle skin preparation before wound dressing application. The alcohol-free formula is suited to sensitive skin and wound margins where alcohol-based wipes would cause stinging. Each wipe is individually foil-sealed to maintain sterility.
Compliance Summary: Sterowipe alcohol-free wipes are medical devices for pre-dressing skin preparation. They are specified in BS 8599-1 and HSE first aid kits as standard wound care consumables.
Why alcohol-free instead of alcohol wipes?
Alcohol-free wipes clean the skin without the stinging sensation of alcohol, which is important near open wounds and on sensitive skin. They are the standard cleansing wipe specified in BS 8599-1 first aid kits for general wound preparation.
How many wipes should I keep in stock?
Wipes are consumed at every dressing application. Stock replacement packs proportional to your first aid kit usage rate. Most workplaces use 2 to 4 wipes per first aid incident.
