Hygienic wet tissue

It is based on non-woven fabrics, fabrics, wood pulp composite fabrics, wood pulp papers, etc., and is added with raw materials such as production water and disinfectant. It has a clean and bactericidal effect and is suitable for the surface of hands, skin, mucous membranes and ordinary objects.

According to the health industry standard, the killing rate of sanitary wipes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus should be ≥90%. If it is indicated that it has a bactericidal effect on fungi, the killing rate of Candida albicans should be ≥90%;

If it is indicated that it has a killing effect on other microorganisms, the killing rate of the corresponding microorganisms should be ≥90%.

When using hygienic wet tissue paper: the action time for the hand should be ≤ 1min, the action time for the intact skin and mucous membrane should be ≤ 5min, and the action time for the surface of the ordinary object should be ≤ 30min.


Medical disinfection wipes

At present, relevant industry standards have not yet been introduced. Non-woven fabrics are used as materials and main disinfectant components are added. They are mainly used for disinfection of surface surfaces of equipment, equipment instruments or hospital beds in medical institutions.

Since the purpose of using wet wipes in medical institutions is to remove and kill pathogenic microorganisms that may cause infections in hospitals, medical disinfectant wipes must be selected. At present, most of the disinfectant wet tissue paper is mainly composed of quaternary ammonium salt, which can reduce the possibility of cross infection and secondary pollution caused by traditional rag cleaning and disinfection, and has the characteristics of one step in cleaning and disinfection. In the process of using sterile wipes, it is necessary to ensure "one thing, one towel, one bed and one towel".

In general, there is a clear distinction between disinfected wet tissue and sanitary wipes. The former is mainly used for disinfection of nosocomial infections in medical institutions, while the latter can be used for daily life. The kill rate of bacteria should be no less than 90%. Consumers need to pay attention to the difference in the purchase process, especially when shopping online, you should pay more attention to product information.
