Health and hygiene products keep skin, hands, and surfaces clean and limit germs. Our Vancouver store carries prep pads, sanitizers, alcohol, antiseptics, wipes, and sterile water.

Health and Hygiene Products in Vancouver

This collection covers hand care, skin prep, surface cleaning, and sterile rinsing. Every listing gives the brand, the bottle or pack size, and the price. A few listings ask you to buy in the store, so read each one. Ask our team which product fits the job and the person using it.

Alcohol Prep Pads Among Our Hygiene Products

Our Medline alcohol prep pads come sterile, in a medium size, 200 per box. Ask us for the alcohol strength and ply count before you buy. Each pad serves one wipe, then goes in the trash. Let the skin air-dry before the next step, such as a bandage. HealthLinkBC advises against alcohol on an open cut, so use pads on intact skin. Many people keep pads in a diabetes kit or a travel bag. Our towels and wipes range holds the prep pads plus Prevail premoistened wipes.

Hand Sanitizers in Our Hygiene Products Range

We list three hand sanitizers: Purell, Isagel, and Healthcare Plus. The Purell and Isagel bottles hold 118 ml and 115 ml for bags and desks. Healthcare Plus comes in a 473 ml bottle with a pump. Our Isagel listing claims fast drying, moisturizing ingredients, and no need for water. Read the Isagel hand sanitizer product page for its full description. That listing does not state the alcohol content, so check the label. Health Canada advises 60 percent alcohol or more and an eight-digit DIN or NPN. DIN means Drug Identification Number, and NPN means Natural Product Number.

Hand Hygiene Products Versus Soap and Water

Soap and water remain the best choice when you can reach a sink. HealthLinkBC says to scrub for at least 20 seconds with soap. Wash before and after treating a cut or caring for someone sick. Sanitizer helps when no sink is near, but it does not remove surface dirt. HealthLinkBC says sanitizer works best at 60 to 95 percent alcohol. Use a dime-sized amount, and rub until your hands are dry.

Safety Rules for Alcohol-Based Hygiene Products

Never swallow hand sanitizer, because even small amounts can be dangerous. Children should use sanitizer only while an adult stays nearby. Health Canada says to keep sanitizer out of sight of children under six. Call a poison centre or get medical help right away if someone swallows it. In British Columbia, you can also reach Poison Control at 1-800-567-8911. Keep alcohol products away from open flames, and close caps after each use.

Isopropyl Alcohol in Our Hygiene Products

Isopropyl alcohol comes here in two strengths, 70 and 99 percent. Our 70 percent bottle holds 500 ml and lists skin cleaning, first aid, and surfaces. Check today's price on the 70 percent isopropyl alcohol product page. The 99 percent bottles come in 500 ml and 4 L sizes. The 4 L listing describes fast drying with no residue, for surfaces, tools, and electronics. See the 99 percent 4 L bottle page for the full description. Ask a pharmacist before you use 99 percent alcohol on skin. Isopropyl alcohol should never go into an open cut, according to HealthLinkBC.

Hydrogen Peroxide Products Among Our Hygiene Products

We list 3 percent hydrogen peroxide in a 473 ml bottle. Clorox hydrogen peroxide wipes measure roughly 7 by 9 inches. The Clorox listing gives no wipe count, contact time, or approved surfaces. Read the label or ask us before you wipe a delicate surface. The Clorox hydrogen peroxide wipes product page shows the current price. HealthLinkBC says hydrogen peroxide can damage tissue and slow healing in a cut.

Betadine Povidone-Iodine in Our Hygiene Products

Betadine 10 percent povidone-iodine comes in 100 ml and 500 ml bottles. Our 500 ml listing describes skin preparation before surgery and general antiseptic use. The Betadine 500 ml product page carries the complete listing. HealthLinkBC advises against iodine on a cut, so ask a pharmacist first. A BC nursing wound committee lists iodine sensitivity as a reason not to use it. It also urges caution with thyroid disorders, lithium, and pregnancy.

Sterile Water and Saline Among Our Hygiene Products

The Sterile Water and Saline category holds four items, each with its own volume. Medline sterile water comes in 250 ml and 1000 ml sizes. A Medline saline irrigation solution, sterile and 250 ml, sits beside them. We also list Pfizer bacteriostatic water in a 30 ml size. Ask a pharmacist or prescriber how to use bacteriostatic water. The listings ask you to buy these four items in the store. HealthLinkBC says plain running tap water works for rinsing a wound. It also suggests saline for loosening a dressing that sticks. Follow the label on how long to keep a bottle after opening.

Choosing Hygiene Products for Home, Clinic, and Travel

Pocket bottles of 115 ml or 118 ml fit a bag, desk, or glove box. The 473 ml pump suits a home counter, a reception desk, or a small clinic. The 4 L alcohol bottle suits shops and clinics that clean many surfaces. Prep pads suit a kit, a purse, or a nightstand drawer. Compare the cost per millilitre, since larger bottles often cost less. Match the product to its use, because skin antiseptics and surface cleaners differ. Pair them with gauze and tape from our dressings collection.

Other Items in This Hygiene Products Collection

This collection also holds an AirFit N30i CPAP mask and Trimline CPAP tubing. A Medela manual breast pump also sits here, and our team can confirm stock. Ask our team about masks, tubing, and other respiratory supplies.

Hygiene Products for Home Care and Small Practices

Caregivers often pair sanitizer, prep pads, and gloves for daily care tasks. Our medical gloves collection lists nitrile and vinyl options in several sizes. Clean hands first, put on gloves, and change gloves between people. Small clinics can buy larger bottles of alcohol and wipes to cut refill trips. Our disinfectants and sanitizers collection adds more products for surfaces and hands.

Storing Hygiene Products Safely

Keep bottles tightly closed and upright in a cool, dry cupboard. Store alcohol and peroxide away from heat, sunlight, and open flames. Keep sanitizer and antiseptics high, out of sight of young children. Label any bottle you refill, and never mix products in one container. Check expiry dates, and discard sterile water once the label says so. Keep prep pads in their sealed wrappers until the moment of use.

About the Hygiene Products Brands We List

Medline, Pfizer, Clorox, Betadine, Purell, Isagel, and Healthcare Plus all appear here. Some bottles show our store as vendor, so ask us about the manufacturer. Always read the label for the exact product and strength.

Hygiene Products Advice From Our Store Team

Questions about strengths, sizes, or safe use are welcome at our counter. Our number is (236) 466-2141, and the contact page takes messages too. We cannot give medical advice, so ask a pharmacist or doctor about treatment.

Hygiene Products Safety Tips

Read every label before use, because strengths and directions differ between brands. Stop using a product when your skin reddens, dries out, or itches. Keep products away from eyes, and rinse with water if they splash in. Never swallow antiseptics, alcohol, or peroxide, and never give them to children. Call 9-1-1 or Poison Control right away after any swallowing or serious exposure. Treat these notes as background, and let your own clinician guide your care.
