Formalin is used foto sterilize heat-sensitive objects, including blood-stained instruments, cystoscopes, and laparoscopes. In its gaseous form, Formalin is also used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Similarly, it is used as an environmental disinfectant, to clean extremely contaminated rooms.

Fighting spread of infections

Povidone-iodine is a highly versatile antiseptic that can kill most disease-causing viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Moreover, there are no reports of resistance against it. Further, it has an excellent safety profile. Thus, it is used for disinfecting skin, hands, as mouthwashes. It can help prevent the spread of contagious diseases like hepatitis A, influenza, and also covid-19. It is regarded as a potent and affordable antiseptic that is fit for use in hospitals and homes.

Hand disinfection

Hand disinfection is needed in various scenarios. In fact, some manufacturers are adding povidone-iodine to hand sanitizers and soaps, too. Nevertheless, its most common use could be in surgical scrubbing. Povidone remains one of the most commonly used antiseptics for scrubbing. Studies show that it needs 3 to 5 minutes to kill most pathogens. Thus 7.5% povidone-iodine should be applied minimum for 3 minutes or more.

Skin preparation for invasive procedures or surgery

Infections remain the major cause of complications in invasive procedures. Most of these complications are caused by opportunistic infections. Thus, cleaning the skin before such procedures may help reduce the risk of complications. Like hand scrubbing, one should give it 3-5 minutes to act and kill pathogens.

Wound irrigation or cleaning

One may use povidone-iodine for wound irrigation and reducing the risk of infection. It is equally suitable for use in clinical settings and at home. Studies show that there is a much lower risk of wound infection when irrigated with povidone-iodine in comparison to saline. It is also safe for irrigating the bladder, peritoneal cavity, and even bowel in hospital conditions.

Wound management

Povidone-iodine solution or ointment may be used for wound care. It not only helps prevent infection, kills pathogens but is generally good for reducing inflammation. It does not appear to slow down wound healing like some other antiseptics. Further, it has no reported resistance and can penetrate biofilms. It means that it could be especially good for promoting the healing of chronic wounds and ulcers.

Preventing respiratory infections

Povidone iodine gargle may help prevent certain infections like Moraxella catarrhalis and Hemophilus influenza from binding to pharyngeal epithelial. It is perfect for preventing infections that cause disease by penetrating the upper respiratory tract. Further, povidone-iodine gargle may help reduce the risk of secondary infections caused by opportunistic pathogens.

Oral health care

One does not necessarily need to use povidone-iodine for treating infections. It is also suitable for regular use for oral health. It may help prevent the spread of infections like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Gargling with it may also help prevent frequent bouts of throat infections, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, and much more.
