The cotton swab 1 is a swab 11 with a cotton ball 12 of an appropriate size for cleaning the oral cavity attached to the tip of the swab 11, which is sterilized as a whole, and each swab is placed in a packaging bag 4. Hygienically housed.

The container 3 containing the wiping liquid 2 is a synthetic resin container that contains the wiping liquid 2 and then seals and closes the opening surface with a lid 31 made of a waterproof thin film such as foil paper. .

As illustrated in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the container 3 described above may have one side wall of the container with an appropriate depth formed into an inclined surface 32 that is inclined inward (reduced in diameter) toward the bottom surface. desirable.

This sloped surface 32 allows the rod 11 of the cotton swab 1 to be immersed in the wiping liquid 2 while following this slope during use, and the rod 11 to be rotated using this slope as a guide. Cotton ball 12
It is effective for evenly penetrating the cleaning liquid 2 into the cotton swab 1, and if the cotton swab 12 is impregnated with excess cleaning liquid 2, when pulling up the cotton swab 1,
The part of the cotton ball 12 is brought into contact with the upper end part of the inclined surface 32 where the cleaning liquid 2 is not retained, and this surface is used as a draining part, and the excess cleaning liquid 2 that has been drained is removed.
This has the effect that it can be used as a guide surface for quickly returning it into the container 3.

The contents and type of the cleaning liquid 2 contained in the container 3 are not particularly limited, but it may be a liquid agent made of a combination of materials that is not applicable as a drug or quasi-drug, for example, a liquid containing purified water as the main ingredient. inside,

[Usage of this invention]

The present invention is used as follows.

First, the caregiver prepares to use the cleaning liquid 2 by peeling off the seal on the lid 31 of the container 3 containing the cleaning liquid 2, as illustrated in FIG. 2a.

Next, the packaging bag 4 is opened, the cotton swab 1 is taken out, and the cotton ball 12 attached to the tip of the stick body 11 is soaked in the cleaning liquid 2, so that the cleaning liquid 2 is applied to the cotton ball 12. . (See Figure 2b) When performing the above-mentioned immersion operation of the cotton swab 1 into the container 3, one side of the container 3 having an appropriate depth, such as the structure of the container 3 illustrated in Figures 2a and b. If the side wall of the cotton swab 1 is configured to form an inclined surface 31 that slopes inward toward the bottom, the rod body 11 of the cotton swab 1 is dipped into the cleaning liquid 2 while following this inclined surface. By rotating the rod 11 using the inclined surface 32 as a guide, the wiping liquid 2 is evenly permeated into the cotton ball 12. In addition, if the cotton swab 12 is impregnated with excess wiping liquid 2 due to these operations, when pulling up the cotton swab 1, the upper end of the inclined surface 32 where the wiping liquid 2 is not retained is The cotton ball 12 portion may be brought into strong contact with the cotton ball and this surface may be used as a drainage part.
