Why Choose CaviWipes Flat Pack
The flat pack design provides superior portability compared to bulky canisters—easily carried between treatment rooms, tucked into mobile carts, or stored in compact spaces where canister storage isn't practical. The larger 7" × 9" wipe size covers approximately 30% more surface area than standard 6" × 6.75" wipes, reducing the number of wipes needed per surface and improving efficiency. The resealable soft pack prevents solution evaporation between uses while the 45-count quantity ensures fresher wipes with more frequent package replacement—important for maintaining optimal solution concentration and efficacy.
