Skin cleaning wipe

Skin cleaning wipes are single-use, absorbent fabric pads pre-soaked in a liquid solution—such as alcohol, saline, or mild cleansers—to gently prepare and sanitize localized skin areas before medical procedures or device application. They’re also used to maintain skin hygiene in clinical or home settings, reducing contamination risk during sensitive tasks like injections or catheter placements.

These wipes are typically classified as single-use, non-medicated (unless containing active ingredients like alcohol), and regulated under general medical device standards depending on their intended use. They’re widely available over-the-counter or through healthcare providers, with formulations tailored for different skin sensitivities or procedural needs.
