Description

Leukoplast 6 Ply Non-Sterile Non-Woven Swabs (Multisorb non-woven swabs) are low-linting, soft and highly absorbent swabs made from a viscose/polyester non-woven material. Each 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm, 6-ply swab can be used to clean wounds, protect the skin or act as a secondary dressing. They absorb up to 40% more fluid (weight for weight) compared with traditional BP Type 13 light gauze swabs, providing effective exudate management while minimising the risk of wound contamination. Supplied non-sterile in a pack of 50, they are suitable for general wound care in clinical and home settings.
