Aplicare's saturated swabsticks are packaged in easy open, single use,
foil-laminated pouches. Each packet contains a fully saturated 4" swabstick. The swabsticks are conveniently packaged
10 boxes of 50 single swabsticks per case.
The Gel Swabstick is saturated with a multi-purpose topical gel that
contains 10% Povidone Iodine USP, 1% available Iodine, for broad-spectrum
germicidal action. Povidone Iodine is known to kill surface pathogens,
including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (including antibiotic
resistant strains), fungi, viruses, protozoa and yeasts. The gel is also
approved for venipuncture site preparation prior to blood and plasma
collection. It is virtually non-irritating to skin and mucous membranes and
virtually non-staining to skin and natural fabrics.
