Pollution particles can push the microorganisms out of the wound.

For disinfection of a simple green that has not lost its popularity for years. It can be used if there are purulent lesions on the wound. The green paint dries and disinfects perfectly at the edges and even inside the damage. You should not only fill very deep wounds with bright green, because then it cannot be removed from there, eventually there will be a green scar.

Iodine is another popular tool for disinfecting wound surfaces. It is designed to treat the surface close to the wound, is not suitable for washing and does not stop bleeding.

In a broader spectrum of action there is a modern drug "Miramistin". Since it is produced in solution, it is suitable for washing and disinfecting various wounds. It affects fungi, protozoa, bacteria and spores. Unfortunately, since it does not have hemostatic properties, such a wound needs to be treated first with hydrogen peroxide and then with Miramistin.

Alcohol perfectly disinfects and relieves swelling caused by microorganisms entering the wound. It is not recommended to use for washing, as it can aggressively affect damaged tissues and cause burns, especially in children.
