"On whether medical alcohol can replace hydrogen peroxide"
Medical alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are both commonly used in disinfection. The world often suspects that medical alcohol can replace hydrogen peroxide? Today it should be discussed in detail.
Medical alcohol, its main component ethanol, can denature bacterial proteins, thereby killing bacteria. Its disinfection effect is rapid, and it is quite effective in disinfecting the surface of the skin. However, its ability to kill microorganisms with strong tolerance to spores and other microorganisms is weak.
Hydrogen peroxide, commonly known as hydrogen peroxide, releases new oxygen when decomposed, which has strong oxidizing properties. It can not only kill general bacteria, but also have a good killing effect on spores. It is often used for deep disinfection of wounds and can clear the living environment of anaerobic bacteria.
Although medical alcohol can disinfect, it has different uses than hydrogen peroxide. Both can be used to disinfect superficial skin; however, when the wound is deep and anaerobic bacteria infection is suspected, hydrogen peroxide is appropriate, and medical alcohol cannot achieve the purpose of thorough disinfection.
In summary, medical alcohol cannot completely replace hydrogen peroxide. Those who use it can achieve the best disinfection effect when they are reasonably selected according to the specific situation.
