Product Information

Prevantics 2% CHG & 70% Alcohol Device Swabs – 100 Pack

Ensure superior infection control with Prevantics 2% CHG swabs. Designed for the rapid disinfection of needleless connectors and medical device hubs, these pre-saturated swabs provide a powerful antimicrobial barrier to help reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs).

Product Overview

Prevantics Device Swabs (PDI) are an essential tool for "scrub the hub" protocols in clinical environments. Each swab is pre-moistened with a dual-action formulation of 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). This combination provides both immediate kill and long-lasting antimicrobial activity, effectively sanitizing the external parts of needleless connectors, injection ports, and blood culture bottle tops.

These single-use, individually wrapped swabs are designed to standardise practice and improve compliance with infection prevention guidelines, ensuring patient safety during IV therapy and catheter maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Dual-Action Formulation: Contains 2% w/w CHG and 70% v/v IPA for broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, yeast, and viruses.
  • Rapid Disinfection: Optimized for a quick 5-second scrub and 5-second dry time, saving valuable clinical time without compromising safety.
  • "Scrub the Hub" Compliance: Specifically designed to reach the grooves and threads of needle-free injection sites where pathogens often hide.
  • Individually Wrapped: Packaged in easy-to-tear, airtight foil sachets to prevent drying and ensure sterility for every use.
  • Medical Grade Quality: Classified as a Class II Medical Device, supporting professional healthcare standards.
  • Evidence-Based: Supports compliance with EPIC 3, NICE, and WHO guidelines for the disinfection of connection ports and hubs.

How to use

How to Use (Instructions)

  1. Open: Tear the foil sachet at the "tear here" mark to retrieve the pre-saturated swab.
  2. Scrub: Using mechanical friction, scrub the external surface of the needleless connector or injection port vigorously for 5 seconds.
  3. Dry: Allow the site to air dry for at least 5 seconds before accessing.
  4. Dispose: Discard the swab after a single use according to your facility’s clinical waste policy.

  • External use only: Do not use on open wounds or in contact with the meninges.
  • Flammable: Keep away from fire, sparks, and ignition sources.
