The right antiseptic for every wound

The most commonly used disinfectants are biguanide antiseptics and chlorine and iodine derivatives. Alcohol, on the other hand, is not recommended because of its irritating, drying effect, which slows healing. It is best reserved for disinfecting medical equipment or healthy skin.
The main criterion for choosing an antiseptic solution is the nature of the wound.
