With a white absorbent side and bright-orange plastic backing, Bio-Hazard wipes prevent leakage of blood, fluids, and chemicals to hands, gloves, and countertops. Since the blood/pathogens/chemicals are trapped inside the absorbent side with no leak through to gloves, Bio-Hazard wipes prevent the subsequent transmission of microbes or chemicals from gloves to phones, keyboards, and pens.
     The orange polyethylene backing is impermeable to strong solvents, including xylene and its substitutes, acetone, ketones, alcohols, and formalin. The wipes are cost-effective because only one is used at a time compared to several pieces of gauze or tissues. Also, the wipes allow for gloves to be changed less frequently. The wipes are suggested for use in NCCLS guidelines as an adjunct to gloves in protecting employees and limiting cross-contamination. The white absorbent side is available in standard, heavy, and super.
