2. action principle is different
1. Contact disinfection: disinfection gel is generally used by wiping or spraying, and can play a bactericidal role through direct contact with the surface of bacteria.
2. Non-contact disinfection: Alcohol usually needs to volatilize away the moisture in the air, thereby reducing the number of microorganisms in the environment, which is a non-contact disinfection method.
Different scope of 3. use
1. Surgical instruments: Because alcohol is flammable, it is not suitable for cleaning and disinfection of medical instruments. Disinfecting gels are advantageous in this respect and can be used to disinfect surgical instruments.
2. Skin and mucous membrane: Alcohol is highly irritating. If it is accidentally applied to the skin or mucous membrane, it may cause obvious pain. The disinfection gel because of the low concentration of alcohol, it will not produce obvious irritation symptoms.
3. Indoor object surface: for furniture, ground and other items surface, it is usually recommended to use alcohol for disinfection, because alcohol penetration is strong, can better enter the object inside the gap, kill viruses and bacteria.
