Hibiscrub swab is just for pre-sample (better than spirit as it has a broader sprectrum and is a better surfacant :))</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/150490?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:18:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:589bb5f8-e17d-4782-b776-416e93ef9289kerryfeehan<p>also hibi is irritant to mm and wounds so I would not apply it to a needle stick area</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/150489?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:16:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:64e2d1a0-4820-44ef-b118-f4703eb2d395kerryfeehan<p>post venous swab should just be plain and dry I think as its mainly to apply pressure with? Pre sample should be spirit swab I think?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
