ABSTRACT:
A multiple-use blood-blotting device includes a sheet of base stock which has a plurality of fingertip-sized recesses formed therein. A corresponding plurality of absorbent swabs are received in the recesses. The swabs may be releasably attached to the recesses so that soiled swabs may be removed. Lines of perforations may be formed in the sheet of base stock, allowing the sheet of base stock to be divisible into sections, with each section including at least one recess and swab. A protective sheet may be attached to the sheet of base stock to cover and protect the swabs. The protective sheet may have perforations which corresponding to perforations in the sheet of base stock, so that each of the swabs remains sterile and hygienic even if device is divided into smaller sections.
