How to process a wound Hydrogenium peroxide


Hydrogen peroxide is described by a chemical formula H2O2 and in use most often is called as Hydrogenium peroxide.

How Hydrogenium peroxide works?

When carrying out chemical reactions of oxidation and restoration with its participation atomic oxygen is formed. External implication of such reactions consists in a decolorization of pigments and any painted substances. Atomic oxygen destroys microbes. But it very seldom meets in the nature. Hydrogenium peroxide very quickly decays at contact with a live matter, especially at influence of microorganisms which too perish. Strong solutions of peroxide are dangerous to the person and can frame a combustion of tissues of a skin and mucosas.

For what peroxide in medicine is used?

The medicine uses 3% concentration of solution of peroxide of Hydrogenium. For medical practice also tablets Hydroperitum as a part of which concentration of peroxide of Hydrogenium is brought to 35% in a complex combination to urea are issued. The international name" urea Hydroperitum Peroxide" is appropriated to them. One such tablet is equivalent to 15 milliliters of the 3% prepared Hydrogenium peroxide solution.

Hydrogenium peroxide solution health workers painlessly take out the dried bandages from a wound. They use it for maintaining an umbilical wound at all newborns, and also process it wounds before use of solution of diamond greens. But peroxide of Hydrogenium has short time of influence on microbes and it is considered at antibacterial treatment. You carry out processing of wounds and grazes qualitatively.

Solution of medical peroxide of Hydrogenium when processing wounds doesn't pinch a skin. Therefore it is used at treatment of children more often than solution of an iodine or diamond greens. Besides lack of color at peroxide excludes opportunity something to soil, and its properties to decolour maculae after pollution from permanganate potassium solution successfully are used. Besides peroxide possesses unique hemostatic action, than favourably differs from other antiseptics. A preparation will be applied to stoppings of capillary bleedings at superficial damages of tissues, at bleedings from a nose, to processings of mucosas at the paradontitakh, stomatites, gynecologic diseases, anginas and even at combustions and purulent wounds.

How to process a wound peroxide of Hydrogenium independently?

For the purpose of disinfection of a wound the damaged site on a skin is processed Hydrogenium peroxide without delution. At applications, processings of wound surfaces and stoppings of capillary bleeding all affected areas carefully process a wad with Hydrogenium peroxide solution.
Quite often peroxide of Hydrogenium is used in medicine for free putting off of bandages from wounds when cotton or bandage stuck to a wound surface. In this case peroxide a syringe is entered under bandage and when it boils, take out a bandage from a wound. At gargles 1 tablespoon of peroxide is dissolved in a usual glass of water.

Contraindications to use of peroxide of Hydrogenium are absent. Use it for treatment of people of any age, both elderly, and children, even the pregnant women and mothers nursing babies. The only restriction is the ban of hit of any drops of peroxide on mucosas of eyes and occlusive bandages. Use of a preparation doesn't frame morbid feelings. Only certain patients can have local allergic reactions or a burning sensation when processing wounds.
