Can iodophor be wiped directly on the wound?

Iodophor can be rubbed directly on the wound. The main component of iodophor is iodine, which has a low concentration and is not irritating to the mucous membrane of the wound, so it can be rubbed directly on the surface of the wound or inside the wound. Before the surgery, the area of the surgical incision can also be disinfected with iodophor, which can be done two times routinely. After the surgery, the wound is normally changed with iodophor, which is also disinfected twice, in the range of 3-5 cm, and covered with sterile dressing or gauze after wiping. For infected wounds, sometimes it is necessary to use iodophor to clean the necrotic tissue inside the wound, and after cleaning, you can also use iodophor gauze to fill in the wound for drainage to prevent the wound infection from continuing to expand.
