Aerowipe Sachets (100) Antibacterial Cleansing Wipes- Alcohol free
Aerowipe sachets are single-use antiseptic cleansing wipes suitable for cleaning minor cuts and grazes. They contain 1% cetrimide and are alcohol free, which is what makes them usable on a wound rather than only on skin around it. Supplied as 100 individually sealed sachets.
Why choose these antibacterial cleansing wipes
Alcohol free is the specification that matters here. An alcohol swab is for preparing intact skin before a needle - put it on a graze and it stings sharply, which is a genuine problem with children and a reason wounds go uncleaned. These antibacterial cleansing wipes use 1% cetrimide instead, so they can actually be used on the cut.
Antibacterial cleansing wipes matter because cleaning is the step that decides how a minor wound heals. Grit, dirt and debris left under a dressing is what turns a graze into an infection, and a sealed wipe at the point of injury means the wound is cleaned immediately rather than when someone finds the first aid room. Cetrimide is a long-standing antiseptic and surfactant, so it lifts contamination as well as being antibacterial.
The individually sealed sachet format is what makes them practical in a kit. Each is single use and sterile until opened, so nothing dries out, nothing is shared, and a pack of 100 distributes across vehicles, kits and workstations rather than sitting in one container that gets left open.

Common uses
These antibacterial cleansing wipes belong in workplace and vehicle first aid kits, sporting clubs, schools and childcare - anywhere a graze needs cleaning where it happened. They are the counterpart to alcohol swabs rather than a replacement: 70% isopropyl alcohol swabs are for preparing intact skin before an injection, not for wounds. For irrigation of a dirtier wound, 30ml saline flushes debris out first. See our cleaning wipes, gauze and swabs range.
antibacterial cleansing wipes FAQs
Can these be used directly on a cut?
Yes - they are antiseptic cleansing wipes intended for cleaning minor cuts and grazes, and being alcohol free they do not sting the way an alcohol swab does. That matters most with children, who will not let you near a graze twice.
What is cetrimide?
A long-standing antiseptic that is also a surfactant, so it helps lift grit and debris while being antibacterial. At 1% it is the concentration used for cleaning minor wounds.
How are these different from alcohol swabs?
Alcohol swabs prepare intact skin before an injection or blood test - they are not wound cleansers and they sting badly on broken skin. These are the opposite: alcohol free and intended for the wound itself.
Are these antibacterial cleansing wipes sterile?
Each sachet is sealed until opened and is single use. Discard it after one wound and one application - reusing a wipe moves contamination from one part of a wound to another, or between people.
What about a deep or dirty wound?
Flush it with saline first to remove debris, then seek medical assessment. A wipe cleans a graze; it does not deal with a wound that is deep, heavily contaminated, gaping, or caused by a bite or a puncture - those need a doctor, and possibly a tetanus review.
Why 100 sachets?
Because they are single use and grazes happen wherever people are, not where the kit is. A pack of 100 distributes across vehicles, workstations, sports bags and kits, so a wipe is available at the point of injury.
For external use on minor cuts and grazes only. Single use - discard after use. Avoid the eyes. Always read the label and follow the directions for use, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Cleaning a wound does not treat an established infection. Seek medical advice for wounds that are deep, gaping, heavily contaminated, caused by a bite or puncture, will not stop bleeding, or show signs of infection, and check that tetanus protection is current.
