McKesson BZK Cleansing Towelettes, 5 x 7 Inch, 100 Count Box
McKessonâ„¢ BZK Antiseptic Cleansing Towelettes (5" x 7")
0.13% w/v Benzalkonium Chloride Active Antiseptic, Sting-Free Alcohol-Free & Fragrance-Free Formula, Durable 5" x 7" Paper, and Foil-Wrapped Packets
Maintaining proper antiseptic preparation and skin cleansing prior to medical procedures or first aid care requires a reliable solution that eliminates bacteria without damaging delicate tissue. McKessonâ„¢ BZK Antiseptic Cleansing Towelettes provide a clinically trusted, non-sterile cleansing wipe engineered for skin prep, minor wound hygiene, and perineal care. Standard isopropyl alcohol prep pads are highly volatile and cause intense micro-stinging and drying on broken skin, mucous membranes, or sensitive body areas. The McKessonâ„¢ formula overcomes these challenges by using an aqueous Benzalkonium Chloride solution that cleanses effectively without stinging.
Formulated with an active 0.13% w/v Benzalkonium Chloride base, these alcohol-free and fragrance-free towelettes deliver broad-spectrum antimicrobial cleansing while preserving the skin's natural moisture balance. Each 5" x 7" wet-strong paper wipe retains high fluid saturation and resists tearing during use. Hermetically sealed inside individual foil packets to prevent evaporation and extend shelf life, these portable wipes are ideal for clinical stations, catheterization prep, emergency medical kits, and travel hygiene. Fully latex-free, this system ensures safe, sting-free care.

Clinical First Aid Insight: BZK (Benzalkonium Chloride) towelettes are essential in any medical setting or first aid kit because they clean effectively without the harsh burn of alcohol. Unlike alcohol pads, which evaporate quickly and lose moisture over time in storage, sealed BZK foil packets have an extended shelf life. They are especially useful for cleaning around minor cuts, preparing skin before catheter insertion, or performing gentle perineal care where alcohol would cause painful stinging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose BZK towelettes over alcohol prep pads for wound cleaning?
A: Isopropyl alcohol stings severely on open skin or cuts and can dry out sensitive tissue. Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK) provides effective antiseptic cleansing without stinging or drying out the skin, making it much more comfortable for wound care and sensitive areas.
Q: Can these towelettes be used for catheter prep or perineal cleansing?
A: Yes. Because they are alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-stinging, BZK towelettes are widely used in healthcare for gentle perineal hygiene and pre-catheter insertion skin cleansing.
Q: Are these wipes flushable down standard toilets?
A: No. These wet-strong paper towelettes are designed for durability during wiping and will not dissolve in water. Always discard used wipes in standard trash receptacles.
