How to use dust-free medical cotton swabs and precautions

Dust-free medical cotton swabs are always available at home for cleaning and treating wounds, but did you know that the wrong way of use or improper behavior may lead to contamination of the cotton swabs, which will affect the wound. Today, I will talk about the use and precautions of dust-free medical cotton swabs. After the sealed cotton swab is opened, it can only be kept sterile within 24 hours. After that, the cotton swab will be contaminated by microorganisms and cannot be used for wound disinfection. It can only be used after sterilization. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to disinfect the wound, but it will further contaminate the disinfectant and cause secondary damage to the wound. When opening the package, the end of the cotton swab should be used as the opening. Even if the opening of the plastic package is relatively large, the cotton dust-free medical cotton swab should be taken out through the bag by hand. Seal the opening immediately after the meeting.
