Features

Meets a clinical need based on research studies*

Research shows alcohol wipes can be damaging to fragile infant skin and may be absorbed into the bloodstream.* In response to these potential problems, nursing organizations are now recommending the use of sterile isotonic saline or sterile water to cleanse skin after disinfection and prior to invasive procedures. Other uses include cord care, diapering, and adhesive removal.
