Dukal 883-500 - PVP-I Prep Swabstick, 3's, Bulk, 3/pch, 500 pch/
The Dukal 883-500 PVP-I Prep Swabstick is a professional grade antiseptic applicator designed for pre procedural skin preparation. Each pouch contains three individually saturated swabsticks with povidone iodine solution, ensuring consistent antiseptic coverage across the treatment area. Packaged in bulk with 500 pouches per case, this product is ideal for high volume clinical and hospital use where sterile, reliable antiseptic application is required.
Key Benefits
Each swabstick is saturated with PVP iodine, a proven broad spectrum antiseptic that effectively kills bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin surface. The triple swab configuration allows for complete and even application, reducing the risk of infection during invasive procedures. The single use, sterile packaging ensures maximum protection against cross contamination, while the sturdy applicator sticks provide controlled handling and precise skin coverage.
Compatibility and Applications
This product is compatible with standard clinical aseptic preparation protocols and is suitable for use in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dental practices, and emergency care environments. It is commonly used before blood draws, injections, catheter insertions, surgical procedures, and other minor invasive treatments requiring antiseptic cleansing of the skin.
Usage Guidelines
Open one pouch immediately before use. Using aseptic technique, remove each swabstick and apply the povidone iodine solution evenly across the designated area using a circular motion from the center outward. Allow the area to air dry completely before proceeding with the procedure. Discard used swabsticks and packaging in accordance with medical waste disposal regulations. Do not reuse or re sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal PVP-I Prep Swabsticks are manufactured under strict quality assurance standards in accordance with FDA and ISO medical device regulations. The product is sterile, single use, and compliant with established guidelines for skin antisepsis. Each lot is tested to ensure consistent saturation levels, sterility assurance, and antiseptic efficacy.
Comparison with Competitor Products

The bulk case format of 500 pouches lowers cost per use, making it an economical choice for healthcare facilities managing high patient throughput.
