Introduction
Medical iodophor disinfection cotton balls are common medical disinfection supplies widely used in skin disinfection, wound care, and preoperative preparation. Composed of medical degreased cotton balls and povidone-iodine solution with an effective iodine content of 0.2%–0.9%, they come with a portable tweezer for easy use. Suitable for skin disinfection before injection or infusion, as well as bactericidal treatment of skin and mucous membranes for adults and children over 2 years old, the product features plump degreased cotton balls that are skin-friendly and soft, with sufficient iodophor content that resists volatilization for gentle disinfection and reduced irritation. The double-layer aluminum film sealing design prevents liquid from drying out or leaking, making them a must-have for families to handle daily cuts and scrapes and avoid infection risks from minor wounds.
The main components of medical iodophor disinfection cotton balls are iodophor (povidone-iodine) and sterile cotton balls. Iodophor (povidone-iodine) is a complex of iodine and surfactants that slowly releases free iodine, providing broad-spectrum bactericidal effects. The sterile cotton balls are made of highly absorbent cotton material to carry the iodophor solution.
