Medical alcohol refers to the alcohol used in medicine. Medical alcohol has four concentrations, namely 25%, 40% -50%, 75%, 95%, etc. Its main function is disinfection and sterilization. Depending on its concentration, there are also certain differences in its effects and efficacy.
25% alcohol: can be used for physical fever reduction, with less irritation to the skin, and can also help expand the capillaries on the surface of the skin. When evaporated, it can take away some heat and help alleviate symptoms of fever
40% -50% alcohol: With a low alcohol content, it can be used for patients who are bedridden for a long time. The parts that come into contact with the bed surface for a long time are prone to continuous compression, which can cause pressure ulcers. Family members can use 40% -50% medical alcohol to massage the patient’s unbroken skin area, which is less irritating and can promote local blood circulation to prevent pressure ulcer formation.
75% alcohol: The most commonly used medical alcohol in clinical practice is 75% medical alcohol, which is commonly used for skin disinfection. This concentration of medical alcohol can enter bacteria, completely coagulate their proteins, and completely kill most bacteria. However, it should not be used for disinfection of damaged tissues because it is highly irritating and can cause obvious pain.
95% alcohol: Used only for wiping and disinfecting ultraviolet lamps in hospitals and for wiping and disinfecting fixed equipment in operating rooms. 95% of medical alcohol has a relatively high concentration, which may cause some irritation to the skin. Therefore, gloves should be worn when using it.
In short, medical alcohol should be avoided from being sprayed in large areas in the air, and alcohol should be avoided from coming into contact with open flames. After use, the bottle cap of the alcohol should be promptly closed, and indoor ventilation should be maintained. At the same time, medical alcohol should be stored in a cool and dry environment, avoiding direct sunlight.
