Do medical professionals use Cotton balls or prep pads?

6 answers

Do they usually use cotton balls and add alcohol or do they usually use isopropyl pads? By medical professionals I mean any medical professional that use needles to inject or what not daily

    The nurse at my doctor's office invariably cleans my arm with a prep pad, draws blood, and then uses a cotton ball to apply pressure to the puncture.

    When I have received injections in a doctor's office, they have used the prep pads.

    Either / or. They use whatever is available.

    Cotton balls. They used that on my ear yesterday to prevent the hydrogen peroxide from falling out.

    Alcohol pads in the foil packs are good for when one is out and about. If one is at home, alcohol and a square of toilet paper is fast and cheap.

    well you sound like you should know, but cotton balls are used to clean the entrance site of the shots or injections, and prep pads for cleaning your eye glasses.
