alcohol wipes

Sterilizing wet pads

Alcohol wipes are small disposable pads saturated with isopropyl alcohol, used to disinfect skin before injections or clean surfaces.

They come individually wrapped for sterility and convenience: The nurse tore open an alcohol wipe before drawing blood.

Also called alcohol prep pads or alcohol swabs.
