Sterilization and disinfection effect on surgical sites
This medicine helps to remove bacteria from the surgical area and prevents infections, keeping the wound clean. This reduces the risk of infection after surgery and supports quick recovery. It is mainly used as a sterilizing disinfectant before surgery.
Press the cap at the end of the injector handle so that the disinfectant soaks into the sponge and apply to the disinfected area. Adjust the amount of solution using the sponge attached to the injector. Do not use on the head and neck, and do not apply to small areas. Apply evenly without rubbing or wiping, and do not overlap on the same area. Ensure that the solution does not pool, and if it flows excessively, use the sponge to absorb it.
