Description
The Metrex CaviWipes HP Disinfecting Towelettes anchors the Metrex infection prevention range for facilities that standardize on proven chemistry. A hydrogen peroxide formulation gives these wipes a universal 1-minute contact time against 67 listed pathogens.
The 1-step protocol cuts waiting time for disinfection and increases staff efficiency. The wipes qualify for the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen claim (List Q), including against Candida auris, HIV, HBV, and HCV with the label’s precleaning notes. The green top canister opens and closes more easily and securely, dispensing wipes with precision to reduce waste. The formulation provides better cleaning efficacy than alcohol-based products, per the manufacturer. It is a friendly alternative for departments that prefer not to use alcohol-based wipes.
