The use of alcohol prep pads with different concentrations

Update: 2023-07-01

1.70% -75% alcohol prep pads are used for sterilization and disinfection.

This includes skin disinfection, medical device disinfection, and deiodination of iodine liquor. 70% -75% alcohol solution has the strongest bactericidal effect, as it can penetrate into the interior of the bacterial body, causing the overall protein of the bacteria to coagulate and denature to achieve bactericidal purposes.

3.25% -50% alcohol prep pads for physical cooling

In case of high fever, in addition to taking antipyretic drugs, the simplest and most effective way is to use 25% -50% alcohol to scrub the physical cooling method. Dip gauze or a soft small towel in alcohol, twist until half dry, and gently wipe the forehead, sides of the neck, chest, armpits, limbs, hands and feet. This method is particularly commonly used for infants and young children with high fever.
