Usage

Use only for external applications and non-sterile procedures where non-sterile swabs are clinically appropriate.
Select a fresh swab for each application to minimise cross-contamination.

Dispose of used swabs as clinical waste in accordance with local infection prevention and waste management policies.

Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the swab material if identified.
Avoid use on heavily contaminated or high-risk wounds where non-sterile products are inappropriate.
Do not use if the packaging is damaged or contaminated in a way that may compromise product integrity.

Adverse Effects

Potential fibre shedding if the swab is cut or damaged, which may interfere with delicate wound beds.
Risk of contamination and infection if used inappropriately where sterile technique is required or if reused contrary to instructions.
