The main component of medical alcohol is alcohol. In daily life, some people often use medical alcohol to wipe the wound to achieve the purpose of sterilization. The reason why 75% alcohol can be sterilized is that it has a great ability to penetrate into the body of bacteria, coagulate the bacterial protein, and then kill the bacteria.
If the concentration of alcohol is too high, it will make the protein on the surface of bacteria coagulate, resulting in the formation of a layer of dura mater. This layer of dura mater has a protective effect on bacteria and prevents further infiltration of alcohol. Therefore, the disinfection effect of concentrated alcohol is not as good as that of dilute alcohol.
