A device for holding and dispensing a disinfectant liquid such as isopropyl alcohol from one section of the device, and holding and dispensing sterile swabs from another section of the device. A single unit combines a storage and delivery unit for the liquid disinfectant and a storage and delivery unit for sterile swabs. The liquid disinfectant is stored in a refillable container with a pump for delivering the disinfectant. The disinfectant storage unit is refilled with a hollow needle, puncturing a self-sealing membrane and injecting the disinfectant fluid into the storage unit. Complete sterility of the disinfectant fluid can thereby be maintained. A second holding and dispensing unit is combined with the liquid unit. A series of individually wrapped sterile swabs is stacked into a spring-loaded cylinder. Swabs are individually removed from one end of the unit, and replaced by the next one in the stack. The device allows a health care professional to always have available the equipment needed for dermal sterilization, and minimizes waste normally associated with these supplies. Alternatively, the swabs may be stored in the cylinder separated by an impervious barrier, allowing the swab to be used while held and contained by the cylinder.
