Methods For Avoiding Bacterial Growth In Medical Cotton Swabs

Medical cotton swabs are one of the commonly used sterile medical supplies in medical diagnosis and nursing activities of medical and health institutions. Therefore, the growth of bacteria in medical cotton swabs is completely prohibited. During the treatment and care of patients, medical staff may use medical cotton swabs for injection, blood transfusion, blood drawing, and other operations. In clinical work, medical staff are accustomed to using medical cotton swabs and casually placing them on the treatment vehicle or pocket after opening, repeatedly using them until they are used up. Many times, due to the unsealed packaging bags of medical cotton swabs, medical staff choose to tear them with both hands at any point of the packaging bag when opening, causing most of the medical cotton swabs to be exposed and difficult to store, greatly increasing the probability of bacterial growth in medical cotton swabs. Exposure of sterile cotton swabs to the air can cause contamination and cross infection in hospitals.

Based on the above issues, our company adopts a new type of anti pollution independent medical cotton swab packaging bag, which effectively reduces the bacterial growth problem of traditional Chinese medicine cotton swabs in the diagnosis, treatment, and nursing process, in order to prevent cross infection in the hospital. The structure is simple, practical, and easier to carry and operate. It is also convenient to open, avoiding cross infection caused by cotton swab contamination, and meets the requirements of sterile technology operation. It is widely used in medical institutions at all levels.
