Kid-man NONVI lux non-sterile swabs are high-quality medical dressings crafted from hydrophilic non-woven material with a density of 40 g/m². These 4-ply swabs are engineered to provide superior softness, durability, and resistance to fraying, ensuring they remain intact during clinical applications. Designed for versatility, these swabs serve as a reliable solution for both routine wound care and demanding surgical environments, offering excellent fluid absorption properties.
Advantages
The primary benefit of these non-woven swabs lies in their robust construction and hydrophilic properties, which allow for efficient absorption of blood and bodily fluids. Because they are designed to be non-fraying, they minimize the risk of loose fibers entering a wound site, which is critical for maintaining a clean surgical field. Their soft texture ensures patient comfort during dressing changes, while the 4-ply thickness provides the necessary structural integrity for various medical procedures. Furthermore, the material is highly compatible with standard sterilization methods, making them a flexible choice for healthcare facilities.
Suitable for
- General wound dressing in outpatient clinics
- Absorbing blood and fluids during surgical procedures
- Routine medical care in hospital wards
- Post-operative wound management
When it may not be suitable
These swabs are supplied non-sterile and must undergo a validated sterilization process before being used in invasive procedures or on open wounds. They are not intended for use in their current state for sterile medical applications.
Key specifications
- Material: Hydrophilic medical non-woven fabric
- Density: 40 g/m²
- Structure: 4-ply
- Dimensions: 7.5 x 7.5 cm
