antiseptic wipe

Disinfecting moist towelette

An antiseptic wipe is a small disposable cloth or pad moistened with a germ-killing solution, used to clean skin before injections or to disinfect minor wounds.

They're standard in first aid kits and medical settings: The nurse cleaned my arm with an antiseptic wipe before drawing blood.
