Medipal Alcohol Wipes – Tube of 200 wipes – 195mm x 190mm

Medipal Alcohol Wipes are intended for cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces of non-invasive medical devices within healthcare and care environments.

These highly efficacious general purpose wipes contain 70% Isopropylalcohol (IPA). With an ultra-low linting material which delivers a controlled dosage to ensure optimum disinfection performance with every wipe.

Medipal Alcohol wipes are proven to kill most microorganisms such as bacteria & viruses. The wipes have been independently tested to a range of European testing standards (EN) which includes EN16615.

• 150 wipes
• High Strength – The material offers high strength in both directions – across and along the wipe.
• Very Low Linting -Low risk of leaving contaminating fibres on surfaces.
• Excellent Solution Retention – Ensuring even wetness throughout the wipe.
• Efficient Solution Release – Active wipe ingredients are transferred to the surface rather than being trapped in the wipe material fibres.

Medipal Alcohol Disinfectant Wipes use isopropyl alcohol. Isopropanol is commonly used as a disinfectant and as an antiseptic. It has limited residual activity due to evaporation, which results in brief contact times unless the surface is submerged, and have a limited activity in the presence of organic material.

Alcohols are most effective when combined with purified water to facilitate diffusion through the cell membrane. A mixture of 70% isopropanol diluted in water is effective against a wide spectrum of bacteria.

Manufactured using Tritex technology

• Tritex material is made by bonding layers of spunbond and meltblown polypropylene fibres together in a high heat process before a hydrophilic coating is applied. This material is 100% synthetic. 
• The material offers high strength in both directions – across and along the wipe.
• Very low linting – low risk of leaving contaminating fibres on surfaces
• Excellent solution retention – ensuring even wetness throughout the wipe.
• Efficient solution release – active wipe ingredients are transferred to the surface rather than being trapped in the wipe material fibres. 

Wet wipes are a fast and convenient way to keep surfaces clean and sanitised. The different chemistries in our wipes enable them to kill viruses, bacteria and spores on hands and surfaces.

We recommend laying a wipe flat out on the surface you wish to clean, instead of scrunching or folding it. This maximises the area it covers and minimises the amount of contact your hand has with the surface.  

Because a wipe is only as effective as the technique used and you want to ensure each area has been fully covered and decontaminated, we recommend the ‘S’ shaped motion across surfaces. 

And finally, the surface you’ve just cleaned should stay visibly wet for a little while after. The length of time does depend on the chemicals in the wipes and on which pathogens you’re trying to kill.

On visibly dirty surfaces or heavily soiled areas, more than one wipe may be required to ensure the surface is clean and free of dirt and dust particles before disinfecting.
