EasyTouch alcohol prep pads and pulse oximeter

alcohol prep pads and fingertip pulse oximeter

Gamma-sterilized prep pads in every size

EasyTouch alcohol prep pads are 2-ply spun lace saturated with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol by volume and gamma-sterilized, each sealed in its own packet. They are for external antiseptic cleansing of the skin before an injection or a fingertip test, and they belong in every carrying case. Boxes come in 100, 200 and 400, and a bulk case of 12,000 pads bagged in tens serves compounding pharmacies, clinics and first-aid kit assembly.

The EasyTouch fingertip pulse oximeter reads blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate in seconds on a bright LED display. A soft-padded spring chamber fits most fingers from age twelve, one button runs it, and it switches itself off to save the two AAA batteries. It comes with a lanyard for sport, hiking and flights and is intended for general wellness and fitness use.

Using prep pads well

Wipe the site in one direction and let it dry completely before you inject or prick; wet alcohol stings and can dilute a blood drop. One pad per site, one site per pad.

Everyday EasyTouch supplies for diabetes care

Alcohol prep pads are one of the most-used diabetic supplies: one before every insulin injection with a syringe or pen needle, and many people use one before a fingertip test with their lancets and test strips. EasyTouch makes them with the same quality control MHC Medical Products applies to its insulin syringes and glucose meters, and offers them in sizes from a box of 100 to a 12,000-count case at affordable prices compared with retail.

The fingertip pulse oximeter is a newer EasyTouch product for general wellness: a fast, simple way for people to check oxygen saturation and pulse during sport, travel or recovery, designed with the same easy-to-read display philosophy as the brand's glucose meters.

Prep pads in a diabetes management kit

A complete kit for people with diabetes usually holds a meter, test strips, lancets, insulin syringes or pen needles, a sharps container and a handful of prep pads. Wiping the injection site with a 70% isopropyl pad before a U-100 syringe or pen needle is a simple safety habit; let the site dry so the injection is fast and comfortable. Each pad is sealed and verified sterile, and the larger boxes give support to clinics and families that go through supplies quickly.
