FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Where can I buy alcohol skin prep wipes?

Alcohol skin prep wipes are used to clean an area of the skin and sterilize it before inserting a syringe. Disinfecting the skin before puncturing into the skin is crucial for preventing the transmission of bacteria into the skin. Alcohol wipes can be purchased online at Allegro Medical and delivered straight to your door.

What is an alcohol prep pad used for?

Alcohol prep pads are necessary for properly sterilizing the skin. They are soft pads that kill germs and bacteria and prevent the transmission of bacteria into the skin. They can also be used to sterilize syringes before insertion to further prevent the transmission of bacteria. Alcohol pads effectively kill bacteria and are not harmful to the skin. They may cause some dryness but they are safe to use on the skin. Each alcohol prep pad is soaked in 70% isopropyl and is ideal for cleansing and disinfecting.

Are alcohol wipes the same as rubbing alcohol?

Alcohol wipes and rubbing alcohol are not the same things. While rubbing alcohol is often used to disinfect, it is not the same. Alcohol wipes are soaked in 70% isopropyl which is the gold standard for cleaning and disinfecting. Rubbing alcohol does contain isopropyl but not in the same concentration. It is often mixed with other ingredients which dilute the product slightly. It may be less irritating to the skin but it is also less effective at thoroughly disinfecting.

Are Alcohol Prep Pads antibacterial?

Alcohol prep pads are antibacterial. In fact, they are the best solution for killing bacteria on the skin as well as surfaces. The 70% isopropyl kills germs and bacteria and can effectively sterilize anything instantly. Alcohol prep pads are the safest products to use to prevent infection of a wound. If you are offering care to a patient at home and need to insert syringes regularly, you will definitely need to use alcohol prep pads to use before each insertion. To make sure everything is sterile, wash your hands thoroughly and then put on surgical gloves. Next, disinfect the area to sterilize it, and do the same with the syringes you may need to use. You do not need to disinfect the area afterward. Simply apply a bandage to prevent bacteria from entering the wound.

Can I use alcohol wipes instead of hand sanitizer to kill bacteria?

Yes, you can use alcohol wipes instead of hand sanitizer. It is very effective at cleaning the hands and killing bacteria. However, because of the higher concentration of isopropyl, it can dry the skin out much more than hand sanitizer. In this case, you may want to apply a moisturizing hand cream afterward to prevent irritated or dry, cracked skin.

Do alcohol wipes expire?

Alcohol wipes do have an expiration date on the box. It is a good idea to discard expired alcohol wipes and purchase new ones. Over time, the wipes may dry out or the concentration of alcohol may decrease. This will make them less effective at killing germs and bacteria. This can inadvertently lead to accidentally infecting someone. To be sure the alcohol wipes are safe to use, always respect the expiration date on the packaging and be sure to store them at the correct room temperature, as stated on the packaging, to prevent premature expiration.

What is the difference between alcohol wipes and alcohol swabs?

Alcohol wipes and alcohol swabs are very similar products with only some slight differences. Alcohol swabs are often thicker and softer and they are also packaged individually in four-layer, air-tight foil wrappers. Alcohol pads are individually wrapped in poly-lined foil pouches. Both are extremely effective at disinfecting the skin to kill both germs and bacteria.

Can I get skin prep wipes or other syringe supplies shipped directly to my home?

Yes, you can order alcohol wipes as well as needle and syringe combinations and other supplies shipped directly to your home with Allegro Medical. You can also sign up for Allegro Autoship and have products regularly delivered to you so you never run the risk of running out of supplies you need.
