What kind of items are included under "single use" products?

1. Reusable instruments

2. Items for multiple clients

3. Cotton swabs and razors

4. Sanitized tools

The correct answer is: Cotton swabs and razors

Single use products are specifically designed to be used once and then discarded to ensure the safety and hygiene of both the tattoo artist and the client. Items like cotton swabs and razors fit this definition perfectly. They are typically essential tools in the tattooing process that come into direct contact with the skin and bodily fluids, making it crucial to prevent any risk of infection or cross-contamination by using new, sterile items for each client. In contrast, reusable instruments would need to be cleaned and sterilized before being used again, which is not the case for single use items. Similarly, items intended for multiple clients do not fall under the 'single use' category as they pose a risk of spreading infections if not properly sanitized. Lastly, sanitized tools, while crucial for safe practices, are not single use, as they can be reused after proper sterilization. This distinction emphasizes the importance of using disposable products in a tattoo setting to maintain health and safety standards.
