What are the common disinfectant?
In daily life, people often use red potion, purple potion, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, iodophor, etc. Here, I will come to tell you what these "disinfection potions" in our lives are used.
The scientific name of mercurochrome is mercurochrome solution, which was widely used for superficial skin wound disinfection from 1970 to 2000. However, because its sterilization ability is unreliable and it is an organic compound of heavy metal mercury, it is toxic to human body. Moreover, once combined with iodine and iodophor, it will produce fatal mercury iodide, which is extremely harmful to human body. Guangxi medical devices suggest that friends who prepare mercurochrome to disinfect skin at home should not use it again. Guangxi Medical Devices
The purple water is also known as nail violet solution, which is mainly used for disinfection of infections caused by suppuration of skin and mucous membranes, and stomatitis caused by Candida albicans. The 2-10 times diluted purple water can also be used for disinfection of burns and scalds. However, it should be reminded that purple water has a strong dyeing effect, so it should not be used for facial disinfection. The treatment of stomatitis and thrush should only be used in the affected area, because the violet itself is toxic, swallowing or oral administration will cause poisoning, and now there are safer, non-toxic and bactericidal effects of other disinfection drugs, violet has basically withdrawn from the stage of history. Guangxi Medical Device Company reminds everyone that the wound treated with gentian cannot be sealed, and it cannot be used for many times for a long time.
Alcohol, first of all, not all concentrations of alcohol have bactericidal effect. Only 70%-78% concentration of alcohol can be used for skin disinfection. If the concentration is too low, the disinfection will not be complete. If the concentration is too high, the bacteria will dehydrate too quickly and form a layer of bacterial envelope, which cannot completely eliminate bacteria. However, alcohol disinfection is mainly used for appliance disinfection and disinfection of undamaged skin that is about to undergo surgery or needle insertion, this is mainly because alcohol disinfection wound non! Often! It hurts! Under normal circumstances, if it is not for the purpose of getting out of gas, try not to disinfect the wound with wine for others. It is definitely an impressive experience after using it once.
Hydrogen peroxide itself does not have a broad-spectrum disinfection effect. Hydrogen peroxide can produce oxygen-containing foam because it is applied to the affected area, so it has a good killing effect on anaerobic bacteria. Moreover, the bubbles and liquid produced by hydrogen peroxide can clean the sand, stones and soil around the wound. It can also loosen and peel off the blood scab, pus and necrotic tissue in the wound during the healing stage, so hydrogen peroxide is mainly used for cleaning and sterilization of dirty wounds, cleaning and sterilization of deep wounds, and cleaning of complex old wounds.
Iodine is usually used for surgical and medical environment disinfection, mainly used for surgical site, puncture site and injection site disinfection, iodine because of its irritation is generally not used for wound and ulcerative wound disinfection, mucous membrane and sensitive skin can not be disinfected with iodine.
Many people think that iodine and iodine are one thing. In fact, it is not at all. Iodine is a disinfectant made of iodine and potassium iodide dissolved in alcohol, while iodophor is an amorphous combination of iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Compared with other disinfectants, iodophor is less irritating and safer, and can also be used for disinfection of wounds of sensitive skin and mucous membranes. Generally, iodophor can be used for disinfection of trauma (burns, contusions, frostbite, knife wounds and abrasions). Only the effective sterilization time of iodophor is about one minute, so do not use iodophor to clean or bandage immediately after disinfection. Guangxi Medical Supplies
