What is the difference between saline and alcohol-free wipes?
Saline wipes use a sterile salt solution suited to cleaning wound surfaces and wound margins. Alcohol-free wipes use a non-alcohol antiseptic for general skin preparation. Both are gentle and non-stinging. Saline wipes are preferred for direct wound contact.
Can saline wipes be used around the eyes?
Yes. Sterile saline is safe for use around the eyes and on sensitive facial skin. Use saline wipes to clean around eye injuries before applying an eye pad dressing.
