The mildest cleansing wipe for cleaning wound areas and all skin types—even sensitive, young skin.
Saline wipes for wounds to clean without irritating them or damaging the skin further. Our wipes are pre-dosed with the right amount of saline solution to help with quick, efficient, and easy wound and skin cleaning.
Prepare wounds for dressing. These wipes will leave the surrounding skin fresh and clean without any oils or grime that could compromise the effectiveness of a dressing adhesive.
But it's not just wounds that our saline wipes are good for. General skin cleaning can be done without worrying about irritation or allergic reaction. The body perceives saline as a natural bodily substance, so it's doubtful to cause any issues when used on broken or unbroken skin.
We also sell 500ml bottles of saline solution for irrigating eyes and 20ml eye and wound wash saline ampoules.
6 Benefits of Microsafe Saline Cleansing Wipes
What are Saline Wipes used for?
Wound Management
Their concentration ensures saline wipes won't cause adverse reactions when used to clean open wounds. The fact they are non-linting also means you don't have to worry about fibres getting stuck to the wound bed in the same way as cotton wool or tissue.
Gently using a wipe can help with minor debridement of the wound bed, removing debris and dead tissue to help keep the wound clean and provide an optimal healing environment.
Children and Babies
The gentle composition of saline wipes makes them ideal for use on infant skin which is more delicate and allergy-prone than adult skin. Saline wipes are handy in GP surgeries and pediatric wards in hospitals, school nurse offices, and childcare facilities.
Piercings
Cleaning new piercings is essential to prevent infection and ensure the piercing heals properly. Use saline wipes to clean around new piercings to keep any potential infections at bay and reduce the risk of a skin reaction. Saline wipes for piercings are recommended because they not only reduce the chance of irritation but will not leave a residue on the skin and help to dry the skin quickly, preventing bacteria from thriving.
