Dukal 853 Alcohol Prep Pads are designed to provide reliable skin antisepsis prior to injections, venipuncture, and minor medical procedures. These medium-sized, 2-ply pads are saturated with alcohol and individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use. With 200 prep pads per box and 20 boxes per case, they are well-suited for high-volume clinical environments that require consistent, ready-to-use skin preparation.
Key Benefits
These alcohol prep pads deliver effective cleansing to help reduce surface bacteria before procedures. The 2-ply construction offers improved strength and absorbency, allowing thorough skin coverage without tearing. Individually sealed packaging supports sterility, convenience, and ease of distribution across clinical settings.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal 853 Alcohol Prep Pads are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, physician offices, laboratories, pharmacies, and emergency care settings. Typical applications include skin preparation before injections, blood draws, IV starts, fingersticks, and minor wound care procedures.
Usage Guidelines
Open the individual packet immediately before use. Clean the intended area using a firm, circular motion, moving outward from the center. Allow the skin to air dry completely before proceeding with the procedure. Discard the pad after a single use.
Certifications and Safety Standards
These prep pads are sterile and manufactured under controlled quality standards appropriate for medical use. Individual packaging helps maintain sterility and supports compliance with standard infection-control practices.
Comparison with Competitors
