Io-Gone Iodine Removal Wipes

PDI Io-Gone wipes solve a small but persistent problem in clinical care: what to do about the stubborn brown-orange stain povidone-iodine leaves behind once a procedure is done. After a surgical prep, blood draw, or catheter insertion, residual iodine sits on the skin, obscuring the site, irritating sensitive patients, and staining linens and clothing. These individually packeted wipes are formulated specifically to lift that residue away cleanly.

Each Io-Gone wipe measures 1.25 x 2.625 inches and arrives in its own sealed packet (B47000), so a single-use, ready wipe is always within reach at the bedside, on the crash cart, or in a procedure tray. The compact size is deliberate — enough surface area to clear a prep site without waste, and small enough to stock in quantity where space is tight.

Clinicians reach for these when they need to see the skin clearly after antisepsis. Removing iodine promptly makes it easier to assess an insertion site, reduces the chance of prolonged skin discoloration, and spares patients the discomfort of dried iodine left in place. Because the packets are individually sealed, each wipe stays fresh and there's no cross-contamination between uses — an important consideration in any setting where infection control governs the workflow.

Io-Gone is a purpose-built product rather than a general-purpose cleansing wipe, so it belongs alongside your prep and antiseptic supplies rather than in place of them. If you stock other PDI point-of-care solutions, you may also want to review Acid Gone for complementary specialty wipes. Order individual packets or bulk quantities to match your facility's procedure volume.
