Can burns be disinfected with iodophor

For burn patients can use iodophor disinfection, can not be generalized, according to the size of the wound, burn depth, to analyze the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, if the burn wound is very large, such as deep second degree, or even third degree burns, in this case, try to prevent the use of iodophor disinfection. If it is necessary to use iodophor, try to use a higher concentration of iodophor as little as possible. Because iodophor will play an adverse effect on the formation of dry tissue, for such patients with deep wounds, mild disinfectant drugs and liquid medicine can be selected for wound disinfection. However, for the second case, such as local small wounds, if it is a first degree burn or a shallow second degree burn, iodophor can be used for local disinfection of the wound. After disinfection, it should be cleaned with normal saline to reduce some irritating side effects of iodine ions on normal cells.
