Hydrogen Peroxide Wound Disinfection

On whether hydrogen peroxide can be used for wound disinfection

In the world, there are wounds that need to be disinfected, and people often think about what to use. For hydrogen peroxide, when it comes to disinfection, many people have explored it.

Or in other words, hydrogen peroxide can disinfect wounds. The reason is that hydrogen peroxide breaks down into catalase in tissues to produce oxygen. This oxygen has strong oxidizing properties, which can break down the structure of bacteria and kill harmful bacteria to achieve disinfection effect. And its decomposition products are water and oxygen, which are harmless to the human body and seem to be quite suitable for wound disinfection.

However, there are also objections. Although hydrogen peroxide can sterilize, its strong oxidation in wounds can also damage normal cell tissues. The newly formed granulation tissue in the wound is delicate and vulnerable to damage, delaying the healing of the wound. And when using hydrogen peroxide for disinfection, it is often accompanied by severe pain, which makes the injured painful.

In summary, although hydrogen peroxide has the power of disinfection and sterilization, it should be used cautiously when choosing wound disinfection because of the damage to the normal tissue of the wound and the pain caused to the injured. Unless there are special circumstances, other methods can be found to replace it, so that the wound can be effectively disinfected and healed smoothly, relieving the suffering of the injured.
