What "BP/EP Grade" Guarantees

The most important specification for a medical cotton roll is its pharmacopoeia grade. BP (British Pharmacopoeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) define absorbent cotton's purity, absorbency, and freedom from impurities and processing residues. A roll that meets BP/EP grade is verified medical-grade; a roll sold simply as "cotton" without a grade is not. We supply to BP/EP grade with documentation — the assurance a hospital or pharmacy buyer needs.

Roll Weight by Channel

The 500g roll is the clinical and institutional standard; smaller weights (25g, 50g, 100g) suit retail pharmacy and first-aid use, while larger rolls serve high-consumption facilities. Stocking a range lets one brand serve hospital procurement and pharmacy retail from a single supplier.

Ordering & Private Label

Minimums start at 10,000 rolls. Own-brand packaging is supported across roll weights.
