Can medical alcohol wipe the wound?
Medical alcohol generally refers to 75% alcohol disinfectant. Medical alcohol can wipe the wound, but not every kind of wound can be disinfected with alcohol, and only the skin tissue around the wound can be scrubbed. It is not recommended to use medical alcohol to wipe the inside of the wound, because alcohol is too irritating and easy to cause pain to patients, so it is generally recommended to use iodophor disinfectant to disinfect the wound. Wiping the wound directly with alcohol can easily affect the wound healing, and it will also aggravate the pain symptoms of the patient's wound. In addition, after the body is injured, it needs to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. If the wound is seriously polluted, it needs to be washed with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline and then disinfected with iodophor.
Is it normal for medical alcohol to precipitate?
Medical alcohol is abnormal in precipitation. Medical alcohol is normally a colorless and transparent liquid. If there is precipitation, it means that it contains impurities, which can not kill pathogenic microorganisms when used for disinfection, especially when there is a wound, it is easy to be infected. If there is precipitation, it means that substances that react chemically with alcohol are added, and only when substances that are insoluble in water are generated will precipitation occur, and this alcohol has undergone a qualitative change; In addition, the water used in proportioning contains impurities, and the alcohol does not reach the effective standard during distillation. When used to prevent infectious diseases, it can't achieve sterilization effect, so it's best not to use it. However, during the storage process of medical alcohol, due to the influence of temperature, alcohol concentration and other factors, it will also cause a small amount of precipitation, but this does not affect the effectiveness of alcohol, and it can be used by licking it. Medical alcohol has a certain time limit. When using it, you must look at the production period. It is best not to use expired alcohol. When using alcohol, try to do a good job of protection and don't let alcohol spill in your eyes and ears.
