FAQs
What color are the surgical markers available in?
Our surgical skin markers use a vivid violet ink, specially chosen for its clarity and contrast. This bright purple (gentian violet) stands out clearly on all skin tones and stays visible under strong surgical lights—making it easy for medical professionals to mark accurately before procedures.
Are the surgical markers sterile?
Yes, our surgical skin markers are 100% sterile. Each one comes individually sealed to ensure it's clean and ready for use straight out of the package. This protects the surgical site and helps prevent any risk of infection, making them a trusted choice for hospitals and clinics.
Are the markers non-toxic and safe for use on skin?
Yes, the ink in our surgical markers is completely skin-safe and non-toxic. It’s specially made for medical use, so it won’t irritate the skin when used correctly. Plus, our markers meet international safety standards (EN-71 and ASTM D-4236), giving you added peace of mind for safe, direct skin contact.
Are the markings waterproof and smudge-proof?
The ink is quick-drying and smudge-resistant. Once applied to the skin and allowed to dry, it won’t easily smudge or wipe off. It’s also water-resistant—so it holds up well against typical skin prep solutions and light moisture. The markings remain clear and visible throughout the procedure, yet can be removed intentionally when needed.
How should the markers be stored to maintain sterility?
Store surgical markers in a cool, dry place, and keep them in their original sealed packaging until ready for use to maintain sterility. When opening, avoid touching the tip or contaminating the marker. Treat it like any sterile medical supply—open only immediately before use and handle with clean hands or gloves.
Are the surgical markers single-use or reusable?
Surgical markers are intended for single-use only. To maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination, each marker should be used on one patient only. Once opened or used, it must be properly disposed of. Always use a new, sterile marker for each procedure or patient.
How easily can the markings be removed after surgery?
Markings made with our surgical skin markers can be removed using standard skin-cleaning agents after the procedure. An alcohol swab, mild soap and water, or a skin-safe antiseptic solution will usually lift the ink. While it may take a few gentle wipes, the ink will come off without causing skin irritation.
Do the surgical markers have a fine tip for precise marking?
Yes, our surgical markers feature a fine-point tip designed for high precision. This allows for clear, detailed markings—ideal for outlining incision sites or anatomical reference points. The fine tip ensures controlled, exact lines on the skin, which is essential for surgical accuracy.
