Frequently Asked Questions

What is better, 70% or 91% isopropyl alcohol?

According to WebMD, 70% isopropyl alcohol is better for disinfecting compared to higher concentrations such as 91% or 99%. Because 70% alcohol contains more water, it dissolves and evaporates more slowly, allowing it to be absorbed more effectively and to eliminate more bacteria.

Are Embecta alcohol swabs the same as BD swabs?

Yes, Embecta replaced BD’s Diabetes Care division. These are the same familiar BD alcohol swabs, only with a new name and packaging.

Why should people who have diabetes use sterile alcohol swabs?

Alcohol swabs sterilize the skin so you can use insulin syringes, diabetes lancets, a diabetic pen, or an insulin pump infusion set on clean skin. They’re a convenient and effective option for maintaining a sanitary application site when using needle-based diabetic supplies.

Much like BD Alcohol Swabs

These Embecta Alcohol Swabs are much like the BD swabs I was used to and liked a lot. They are thick and moist and just a tad smaller than BD swabs.

Thick, but fuzzy alcohol swabs

These swabs are more like pads, delivering ample amounts of alcohol to ensure a sanitary surface, but be warned that they do leave some stray 'padding hairs' behind. I end up using these to prep my skin, and using the other, standard/thinner alcohol swabs to wipe down vial tops as I don't want to risk one of the stray hairs/fuzz getting pierced/pushed into the vial with the needle. The hairs/fuzz are very fine, are hard to see; I almost missed them, but caught them in my task light when cleaning/prepping for my injection. Again, great amount of alcohol in each swab-perfect for making sure your skin is absolutely cleaned before breaking skin.

Best Alcohol Pads

These are excellent alcohol pads. My RA injector comes with some that had very little fluid. These are thicker, more moist, and easy to open. Not available in any stores. Will definitely order again.
