In clinical practice, iodophor is a relatively common disinfectant that is widely used because it is less irritating to the skin and more effective in disinfection. Since patients often need to use disinfectants in the course of medicine, especially surgical treatment, iodophor is widely used because of its less irritating characteristics, most commonly for surgical disinfection. Before performing surgery, the open area needs to be disinfected with an antiseptic, and in most cases iodophor will be chosen. Medical iodophor can also be used in everyday life, such as when treating wounds on your own.
