>> Current Technologies, Inc.’s BIOHAZARD WIPES with white absorbent side and bright-orange plastic backing prevent leakage of blood, fluids, and chemicals to hands, gloves, and countertops. Since the blood, pathogens, and chemicals are trapped inside the absorbent side with no leak-through to gloves, Biohazard 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 xylene substitutes, acetone, ketones, alcohols, and formalin. Biohazard wipes are cost-effective because only one Biohazard wipe is used instead of several pieces of gauze or tissues, and gloves are changed less frequently. (800) 456-4022.
