    Hi all,
    I was thinking as I was doing my regular monthly supplies order about the option people use for antiseptic wipes in general practice.
    Is there a preferred and correct wipe which we should all use..
    Obviously most would be alcahol based.
    Is there some that are better than others?
    There is also a distinction between what we clean our benches down with and what we prep skin for callous debridement.

    Feel free to throw us your thoughts.

    Thanks

    I like clinell wipes. You can pretty much use them on anything

    I also use clinell wipes - and when I worked for the NHS we used them too.
    According to the blurb on them, they are effective against MRSA, VRE, Acineobacter, TB, Hep B and C, Norovirus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and 'many more'. You can use them on skin, surfaces and equipment. I wish I'd invented them, I think they're great :)

    Thanks guys. I'm actually from Melbourne, Australia but I will see if I can source Clinell and give it a try.
    Cheers

    Hello.

    I'm from S.A and I use either Avagard, Microshield Handrub or D-Bug hand rub to wipe down the client's feet with gauze.

    For surfaces I use Tuffie Wipes (either the neurtal detergent wipes for soiled surfaces or the hospital grade Tuffie Wipes for general wiping down of surfaces if they are not visibly soiled.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Mimmypod
