How to disinfect with Iodophor

Sihaiwang: in daily life, it is inevitable to encounter bumps and bumps. In general, people will choose to use Iodophor for disinfection. Iodophor has a strong disinfection ability, and has a good nursing effect on wounds. It is a very common drug. Let's take a look at it in detail with Xiaobian.

Can the wound be disinfected with Iodophor

Iodine wine has strong bactericidal power, because iodine wine has strong penetration and can kill the spores of bacteria.

The concentration of medical iodophor is low. The efficacy of iodophor is similar to that of iodine wine, but it is much less irritant than that of iodine wine, so it can be used to disinfect both large and small wounds.

The use of different concentration of iodophor

Iodophor has broad-spectrum bactericidal effect, but the use of different concentrations of iodophor is also different. Generally speaking, the concentration of iodophor used for skin disinfection is 1%; the concentration of iodophor used for surgery is 2%; the concentration of colpitis washing is generally about 0.5%.

How to disinfect with Iodophor

If there is bleeding in the wound, if the amount of bleeding is small, it can be washed with clear water or normal saline directly. Then dip the cotton swab into the Iodophor for disinfection; if the bleeding volume of the wound is large, the hemostasis treatment shall be carried out first, and then the wound shall be cleaned with normal saline, and the iodophor shall be disinfected

Methods: dip the iodophor with a cotton ball or swab, and rotate it clockwise or anticlockwise around the wound as the center to disinfect. Pay attention not to wipe it back and forth when disinfecting, so as to avoid bacteria from entering the wound to the greatest extent.

What should I pay attention to when using Iodophor for disinfection

1. If it takes more than half a minute to use Iodophor to disinfect the skin at the injection site, it needs to keep more than 2 minutes for the disinfection of skin trauma, and it needs to be diluted 10 times with pure water for the disinfection of oral cavity, gynecology and other mucous membranes.

2. The period of validity of iodophor is 2 years. If it is a household iodophor, it is better to buy a small bottle of 100ml or so. It should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry environment, but it can not be stored in a refrigerator, because the best sterilization temperature of iodophor is 30 ℃ - 40 ℃.

3. The iodophor is corrosive to copper, aluminum, steel and other metals, so do not use metal containers to hold the iodophor, and do not use the same metal to contact the iodophor.

Can I make iodophor by myself

Some people think that the manufacture of iodophor is relatively simple, and they can try to make iodophor by themselves, but they are not recommended to make iodophor by themselves, because it is not only difficult to control the proportion of iodophor, but also the cotton ball needs high-pressure disinfection. If the concentration is too low to reach the disinfection effect, the concentration is too high, which may cause damage to the skin and mucous membrane, so they are not recommended to make iodophor by themselves.
