- Ethanol 70% painting, surro. ulcer)
• Alcoholic Hand Wash
• Emergency disinfection of
3-5 min surgical instruments in vicinity to
the patient.
• To disinfect oral /rectal
• Disrupting cell thermometers

4. H2O2 6%, 20 volume
• Advantages.
- Kills anaerobic organisms
- Frothing – brings out debris from the depth of the wound.
- Heat – stops capillary oozing (Local Thermo coagulation).
• Disadvantages.
- Irritant.
- Can not used in limbs in DM & PVD.
- Poor penetrability & weak transient action.
- Loses potency on keeping open, hence has a restrictive use.
- It has a Photo-oxidative property, hence stored in amber
colored bottle
