On the Safety of Hydrogen Peroxide for Wound Cleaning
In modern times, the application of hydrogen peroxide is common in wound cleaning. However, there are different opinions on its safety, and it is necessary to distinguish it in detail.

In the past, doctors used hydrogen peroxide to clean wounds because of its oxidizing power, which can remove blood and kill bacteria. Looking at its effect, when encountering organic matter in the wound, hydrogen peroxide quickly explains oxygen. This oxygen can break the structure of bacteria, kill its vitality, and can wash away the filth on the surface of the wound, making the wound clean.

However, today's research is gradually becoming clear that hydrogen peroxide is used for wound cleaning, but there are also drawbacks. Although its bactericidal and decontamination power is significant, its strong oxidizing ability also damages normal human tissues. The new cells in the wound are delicate and fragile. Under the action of hydrogen peroxide, they are often damaged by oxidation, causing apoptosis and delaying the process of wound healing. And the high concentration of hydrogen peroxide stimulates strongly, and when applied to the wound, the patient suffers severe pain, and even local tissue necrosis.

Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to the cleaning of the wound with hydrogen peroxide. Small and shallow wounds, and the pollution is light. Low concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be washed for a short time, or it can have the effect of cleaning and sterilization, and help the wound heal. For deep and large wounds, or those who have been seriously infected, use hydrogen peroxide with caution. Doctors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to the condition of the wound and the patient's body, and choose the best method to keep the wound clean, promote its rapid healing, and reduce the pain of the patient.

In short, the safety of hydrogen peroxide for wound cleaning cannot be generalized. It is necessary to carefully review and use it with caution.
