# Webcol Alcohol Prep Pad

70% Isopropyl Alcohol · Sterile · Individually Wrapped · 2-Ply Nonwoven

## Why Webcol

Maximum Absorbency for Effective Skin Prep

### 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Formula
The optimal concentration for skin antisepsis. 70% isopropyl alcohol is more effective at killing bacteria than higher concentrations because it penetrates cell walls more efficiently. Each pad delivers consistent antiseptic coverage for injection sites, blood draws, and wound care prep.

### Premium Nonwoven Material
The 2-ply nonwoven pad material provides maximum absorbency and a textured surface for effective scrubbing action. Holds more solution than standard pads, so one pad covers the job without drying out mid-swipe. Available in nonwoven gauze and nonwoven sponge configurations.

### Sterile Foil Packets
Each pad is individually sealed in a foil packet to maintain sterility until the moment of use. No risk of contamination from opened boxes or multi-pad containers. Tear-open packets are easy to use even with gloved hands during clinical procedures.

### Medium and Large Sizes
Medium pads (1 x 1-1/4 inch) are ideal for injection sites and fingerstick blood draws. Large pads (1-1/2 x 3-1/4 inch) cover broader areas for IV starts, blood draws, and surgical site prep. Both sizes available in boxes of 200 or cases of 4,000.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the alcohol concentration?
Webcol Alcohol Prep Pads contain 70% isopropyl alcohol, which is the CDC-recommended concentration for skin antisepsis. This concentration provides optimal bactericidal activity because it allows the alcohol to penetrate bacterial cell walls effectively.

### Are these sterile?
Yes. Each prep pad is individually sealed in a sterile foil packet. The pads remain sterile as long as the packet is intact and unopened. Once opened, use the pad immediately for best antiseptic results.

### What size should I choose?
Medium pads (1 x 1-1/4 inch) work well for small injection sites, fingerstick glucose testing, and quick skin prep. Large pads (1-1/2 x 3-1/4 inch) provide better coverage for IV insertion sites, venipuncture, and broader surgical prep areas.

### Can these be used for equipment cleaning?
Webcol prep pads are designed primarily for skin antisepsis. They can clean small surfaces like thermometer probes, stethoscope diaphragms, and glucometer ports. For large-surface disinfection, dedicated disinfecting wipes are more appropriate and cost-effective.

### How should these be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and open flame. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable. The sealed foil packets protect against evaporation, so the pads maintain their alcohol content throughout their shelf life when stored properly.
