The function of iodophor is:
Skin disinfection: 0.5% iodophor directly disinfects the skin, which has little irritation to the skin and does not need to be deiodified, thus avoiding the damage to the skin caused by incomplete deiodification when using iodine to disinfect the skin.
Mucosal washing and disinfection: gargling with 0.5% iodophor solution for 5 ~ 10 min can reduce ulcer exudation and play the role of sterilization, detumescence and convergence.
Washing and disinfection of contaminated wound and suppurative peritonitis: After the wound is polluted or there is pus or exudate in abdominal cavity, washing with 0. 1% iodophor and draining with 0.5% iodophor gauze can reduce granulation tissue edema, reduce local exudation, promote granulation growth of wound surface and reduce the probability of infection and residual abscess in abdominal cavity.
Treatment of burn wound: the burn area is less than 20%, and 0.5% iodophor can be sprayed on the burn wound, which can kill the mold and bacteria on the wound, and has the functions of convergence, anti-infection, wound protection and promotion of healing.
Treatment of bedsore: for stage I ~ II bedsore, iodophor can be applied to the wound and surrounding skin 3 ~ 4 times a day, which is helpful for wound healing. However, it should be noted that iodine preparations are prohibited for people with iodine allergy, thyroid diseases and renal insufficiency.
