With easy dispensing, efficient kill times, and reliable disinfection, DPS readers decide that CaviWipes —including CaviWipes HP and 2.0—are the best choice for safe surfaces
Plenty of factors go into picking the right disinfecting wipe, but for Sandra Hersey, RDH, one deal-breaker stands out: “The smell!”
“With some wipes,” she added, “you really have to watch what they kill and the time needed.” The combination of a pleasant scent and quick, reliable disinfection is why Hersey has trusted CaviWipes for years in her Burlington, MA, office.
“We use them exclusively due to the fact that they work well while leaving minimal residue and are less damaging to our equipment than other brands,” Hersey said. “The containers are also easy to open, the smell is relatively pleasant, and the cost is comparable to similar products. The packaging is nice, too—it’s easy to read and clearly labeled.”
Easy to Dispense, Efficient Disinfection
Impregnated with CaviCide disinfectant and cleaner, CaviWipes eliminate Mycobacterium tuberculosis, bacteria, and fungi in 3 minutes; and multidrug-resistant bacteria and enveloped viruses such as MRSA, HIV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and hepatitis C virus in 2 minutes.*
While CaviWipes and CaviCide have been trusted favorites for years, Metrex continues to improve the clinical efficacy and technology, including 2 advanced options: CaviWipes 2.0, offering a 2-minute universal contact time against 60 listed pathogens, and CaviWipes HP, a hydrogen peroxide-based alternative to alcohol wipes that delivers 1-step,** 1-minute disinfection against 67 listed pathogens.
“CaviWipes are my favorite for several reasons,” hygienist Amy Lindsey shared. “They have an efficient kill time, and they’re easy to dispense. I can tear only 1 or 2 wipes at a time as needed without fighting the container.”
The wipes come in canisters or convenient flatpacks that save storage space and help keep countertops uncluttered.
“CaviWipes hold moisture well without drying out and are slick enough to glide over surfaces easily,” Lindsey said. “I have used several other brands that bunch up or don’t glide, and it makes it very challenging to clean quickly and efficiently. But CaviWipes are the best!”
