Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfectant Comparison
The comparison between alcohol and hydrogen peroxide disinfectants
There are disinfection methods in the world, and alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are commonly used. The efficacy and usage of the two are similar and different, which cannot be ignored.
Alcohol has a fast and wide disinfection power. It can coagulate and denature bacterial proteins, and is mostly used for disinfection of skin and object surfaces. The common concentration is 75%. The disinfection effect is the best at this concentration. Too high or too low will damage its effect. Disinfect the skin, dip it in a cotton ball and wipe it, which is convenient and effective. However, alcohol is flammable, and it should be used to avoid open flames. Storage should also be cautious and placed in a cool and ventilated place to prevent accidents.
Hydrogen peroxide disinfectant, also known as hydrogen peroxide. It is highly oxidizing and can destroy the structure and enzyme system of bacteria to achieve the purpose of disinfection. It is mostly used for wound disinfection, which can debridement and prevent infection. Low concentrations are suitable for general wounds, and high concentrations are used for special infected wounds. However, high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are corrosive and easy to hurt the body if used improperly. And its stability is poor, and it will be less effective if left for a long time. When used, check its valid period.
In terms of scope of application, alcohol is mostly used for complete skin and surfaces of objects; hydrogen peroxide is more focused on wounds, especially for anaerobic bacteria infected wounds. Easy to use, alcohol is easy to use; when hydrogen peroxide is used for wounds, it may cause discomfort to the injured due to irritation.
Although both are good disinfectants, those who use them must carefully observe their properties, choose according to their feelings, and operate them in a standardized manner to obtain the benefits of disinfection and avoid accidental harm.
