Medidental

What are the alcohol prep pad sizes?

A medium or large pad has no single dimension across these products. PDI lists a medium at 1.1" × 2.6" and a large at 1.7" × 3.5". Webcol listings disagree. Vitality Medical gives rectangular inch sizes. DNR Wheels gives square centimetre sizes.

Alcohol prep pad dimensions

The word “medium” does not carry one dimension across these products. PDI Healthcare is the only manufacturer here that publishes pad dimensions on its own product page — 1.1″ × 2.6″ for the medium B60307 and 1.7″ × 3.5″ for the large C69900 — and it offers no small size at all.

Cardinal Health’s Webcol line is the sharper case, because its two distributors do not agree. Vitality Medical lists #6818 as 1 × 1-1/4 inches and #5110 as 1-1/2 × 3-1/4 inches, both rectangular. DNR Wheels lists #6818-1 as 3.5 × 3.5 cm and #5110 as 4.5 × 4.5 cm, both square. Those are irreconcilable for the same catalogue numbers, and Cardinal Health’s own product page could not be retrieved, so neither figure carries the manufacturer’s authority. Each is printed above in the unit its own publisher used.

One country-of-origin difference is not a contradiction: DNR Wheels says the Webcol line is made in the USA, and PDI says USA/China of its own separate product. Those are two manufacturers describing two different products.

Alcohol swab size

Two manufacturers publish the size word and no dimension behind it. Dynarex labels 1113 and 1114 Medium and 1116 Large, and gives no pad measurement anywhere on its own pages; its DynaSafety line adds three more Medium configurations — 1113UB-10, 1113-50 and 1113UB-24 — differing only in count per box. Curad calls CUR090737RB Medium and likewise publishes no dimension. On both, the catalogue number is the only thing that pins down which variant is being sold.

Ply differs by manufacturer and both figures are published: Dynarex states 1-ply, while Curad and Webcol state 2-ply. Two products built differently, not two accounts of one product.

Isopropyl alcohol prep pad details

“70%” means two different things across three FDA-published labels. Curad states “Isopropyl alcohol, 70% v/v” and Pharmacist Choice “Isopropyl Alcohol USP, 70% v/v (0.7 mL per 1 mL)”, both by volume. Landy International states “70 g in 100 g”, by weight. Those are different measurements that happen to share a number.

The quantity in the package diverges further. Curad’s label, from Medline Industries, LP under NDC 53329-827-09, gives 5 mL per applicator in one packet. Pharmacist Choice’s, from Simple Diagnostics under NDC 62379-005-05, gives 1.4 mL in one pouch — roughly a third as much, at the same strength under the same monograph. Neither label says how its figure was arrived at.

DailyMed lists the labels as OTC Monograph Drugs under monograph M003. That differs from the 510(k)-cleared device products covered by the needle gauge chart and needle gauges explained pages. Related pages cover insulin syringes and pen needle sizes.
