Project Description
Chlorhexidine Alcohol Swabs — 2% CHX + 70% IPA | Bulk Supplier China | CE
Chlorhexidine alcohol swabs combining 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) — CE-certified antiseptic wipes from Shanghai Even Medical, supplied to medical distributors, hospital procurement teams, and surgical supply importers worldwide. The dual-antiseptic formulation provides broader and longer-lasting antimicrobial action than standard IPA swabs alone. Available in spunlace and needle-punched non-woven fabric, seven standard sizes plus custom dimensions, packed 100 or 200 pcs per box. OEM and private-label programs available. Item No: E10017.
Key Features
- Dual-Antiseptic Formula — 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) combined with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol delivers immediate kill (IPA) plus persistent residual antimicrobial activity (CHX) — significantly more effective than IPA alone for high-risk clinical applications.
- Persistent Antimicrobial Effect — Chlorhexidine binds to skin proteins and continues to inhibit bacterial growth for hours after application, critical for catheter care, surgical site prep, and CLABSI prevention protocols.
- Two Fabric Options — Spunlace non-woven for soft, skin-friendly applications; needle-punched non-woven for higher absorbency and more durable wiping.
- 7 Standard Sizes — From 30×60mm to 10×10cm, covering injection prep to large-area surgical disinfection. Custom sizes available with MOQ.
- Individual Foil Sealed — Each swab sealed in paper-aluminum foil bag maintaining formula integrity until point of use.
- CE Certified — Documentation available for import submissions.
- OEM & Private Label — Custom packaging, brand printing, and multi-language labeling available.

Clinical Applications
Chlorhexidine alcohol swabs are the clinical standard for high-risk infection prevention protocols:
- Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion site preparation
- CLABSI (Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection) prevention
- Peripheral IV insertion site disinfection
- Surgical site antisepsis
- Urinary catheter care
- Pre-operative skin preparation
- ICU and high-dependency unit skin care protocols
- Dialysis access site disinfection
CHX + IPA vs Standard 70% IPA Swabs
| 2% CHX + 70% IPA (E10017) | 70% IPA Only (E10016) | |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate Kill | Excellent (IPA component) | Excellent |
| Residual Activity | Yes — CHX persists on skin for hours | None — evaporates completely |
| Spectrum | Bacteria, fungi, enveloped viruses + persistent gram+ coverage | Bacteria, fungi, enveloped viruses |
| Best For | Catheter care, surgical prep, ICU protocols, high-risk settings | Injection prep, general skin disinfection, first aid |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Skin Sensitivity | Not recommended for neonates or mucous membranes | Suitable for most applications |
For standard injection prep and general disinfection, see our 70% IPA Alcohol Swabs (E10016).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for chlorhexidine alcohol swabs?
Standard orders are accepted at carton level. For OEM and custom-size orders, MOQ varies — contact us via Quick Quote with your required size, fabric type, and quantity.
Why use CHX + IPA instead of standard IPA swabs?
Standard IPA swabs provide excellent immediate disinfection but leave no residual protection once the alcohol evaporates. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) binds to skin proteins and provides persistent antimicrobial activity for several hours after application. Clinical guidelines for central line care, surgical site preparation, and CLABSI prevention protocols increasingly specify CHX-based antiseptics for this reason.
What is the difference between spunlace and needle-punched non-woven fabric?
Spunlace non-woven is softer and more skin-friendly — preferred for catheter care and IV site prep. Needle-punched non-woven is thicker and more absorbent, suited for surgical site preparation and vigorous wiping. Both are available in all sizes — specify your preference when ordering.
Are CHX + IPA swabs safe for all patients?
CHX + IPA swabs are not recommended for use on neonates (premature infants and those under 2 months), mucous membranes, or perforated eardrums. For these cases, standard 70% IPA swabs (E10016) or alternative antiseptics should be used. Always follow local clinical guidelines.
Can you supply custom sizes and OEM packaging?
Yes. Custom dimensions, box quantities, carton configurations, and OEM label printing are all available. Contact us with your specifications and required quantities.
What documentation is available for import?
CE Declaration of Conformity and product COA available on request. Additional market-specific documentation can be arranged.
Can I order samples first?
Yes. Sample lead time is 5–7 business days. Specify size, fabric type, and box quantity in your request.
