Medical cotton balls for pharmaceutical and healthcare use
Cotton balls are a pharmaceutical and healthcare product designed to provide high absorbency and safe use in different applications, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Description of cotton balls
Made from 100% cotton or rayon fibers, cotton balls comply with European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) specifications and are sterilized for medical use.
They provide safe, non-toxic filling with high absorbency and are widely used in pharmaceutical packaging.
The cotton balls are supplied pre-cut, allowing more efficient packaging. The use of rayon fibers provides greater moisture absorption capacity, making them especially suitable for sensitive products.
