What are the medical disinfectants?

1, ethanol

Ethanol, an organic compound with the molecular formula of C2H6O and the structural formula of CH3CH2OH or C2H5OH, commonly known as alcohol, is the most common monohydric alcohol.

2. Iodophor

Iodophor has broad-spectrum bactericidal effect, which can kill bacterial propagules, fungi, protozoa and some viruses. It can be used as disinfectant in medical treatment, used for disinfection of skin and mucosa, and also used for treating burns, trichomonal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis and fungal infection of skin.

3. Chlorhexidine

Chlorhexidine, also known as chlorhexidine, is a cationic surfactant with strong broad-spectrum antibacterial and bactericidal effects. It is a good disinfectant, and its antibacterial effect on gram-positive bacteria and negative bacteria is stronger than that of benzalkonium bromide.

4. Glutaraldehyde

Glutaraldehyde, the molecular formula of which is C5H8O2, is a colorless and transparent oily liquid with pungent smell, which is soluble in hot water. It has a strong stimulating effect on eyes, skin and mucosa. It can be used as processing aid, bacterial disinfectant, tanning agent, wood preservative, medicine and polymer synthetic raw materials in food industry.

5. Hypochloric acid

Hypochloric acid, the chemical formula is HClO and the structural formula is H-O-Cl, in which the valence of chlorine is+1, which is the lowest oxygen-containing acid of chlorine, but its oxidation is extremely strong among the oxygen-containing acids of chlorine, and it is the second strongest acid among the oxygen-containing acids of chlorine.
