Study Notes
Povidone Iodine Solution
- Broad spectrum microbicidal agent
- Preoperative and postoperative skin preparation
- Antiseptic for skin and mucus membranes before, during, and after injections, aspiration needle biopsies, and oral surgeries
- Maintaining oral hygiene before, during, and after oral surgeries
Acetic Acid
- Concentration: 0.25% to 0.5%
- Bactericidal against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, especially Pseudomonas
- Side effects: delayed re-epithelization and cytotoxic
Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
- Oxidizing agent, disinfectant, and deodorant
- Bactericidal with wide spectrum action against anaerobic bacteria
- Releases nascent oxygen and oxidizes necrotic matter and bacteria
- Cleansing superficial infected wounds and ulcers
- Sloughing devitalized tissue
- Contraindicated for deep open wounds
- Adverse effects: strong corrosive, producing irritating burns on the skin and mucus membranes with a white scar, creates local capillary embolism, appears as temporary whitening of the skin
Sodium Chloride (Normal Saline)
- Ideal for topical irrigation and cleansing of wounds
- No antiseptic properties, but dilutes bacteria concentration in wounds during irrigation
- Promotes epithelization
- Used for all types of wounds
Glycerin Magnesium
- Hydroscopic action applied to wounds without drying
- Used for septic wounds
Mixture Solution
- Composition: 60% normal saline, 30% glycerin magnesium, 10% acetic acid
