Usage Guidelines
Open the individual packet immediately before use. Remove the pad and apply it to the area using firm, circular motions, starting at the center of the site and moving outward.

Common scenarios include pre-injection skin preparation, IV line insertions, blood draws, and minor wound cleaning in both inpatient and outpatient care.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the prep pads in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always check the expiration date before use and discard any damaged or compromised packaging. Avoid using multiple pads on the same site to prevent over-saturation. Do not reuse or repackage individual pads. Dispose of used pads following facility infection control and hazardous waste disposal guidelines.
