An Alcohol Cotton Ball is a single-use disinfectant product made from medical degreased (absorbent) cotton formed into balls and saturated with 70–75% medical alcohol, typically ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, and supplied as a sterile product (often EO-sterilized). It is usually packed in bottles or pouches (e.g., 30/50/100 balls per pack) and primarily used for pre-injection, blood sampling, puncture and minor wound skin disinfection, as well as small-area surface wiping, making it a basic, high-frequency disinfectant consumable in hospitals, clinics and home care.
Upstream, alcohol cotton balls depend mainly on medical absorbent cotton (bleached, degreased cotton) and medical alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol). Medical cotton is sourced from cotton cultivation and bleaching/degreasing lines, while alcohol comes from large-volume chemical and pharmaceutical solvent production, both being sizeable, well-established markets. Midstream disposable medical manufacturers shape the cotton balls, dose alcohol, sterilize and pack them—often alongside related products such as cotton swabs and pads. Downstream, products are distributed via hospitals, primary clinics, pharmacies and e-commerce, used for injections, vaccinations, venipuncture and home first-aid; as a single-use item that cannot be reused, demand closely tracks patient volumes and preventive-care activities, making alcohol cotton balls a rigid, high-frequency consumable in the infection-control supply chain.
