SURGICAL SPIRIT 500ML

SURGICAL SPIRIT 500ML: Important Information for Veterinary Professionals Only

SURGICAL SPIRIT 500ML is a topical antiseptic solution commonly used in veterinary practice, including for racing horses and camels. This product contains a high concentration of alcohol (typically ethanol or isopropanol) and is primarily used for pre-operative skin cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment.

Important Properties:

• Rapid bactericidal activity: Surgical spirit effectively kills a broad spectrum of bacteria on contact, helping to reduce the risk of infections during surgical procedures in horses and camels.
• Fast-drying formulation: The high alcohol content allows Surgical Spirit to evaporate quickly, leaving minimal residue on the skin or equipment.
• Cost-effective disinfectant: Surgical Spirit is a relatively inexpensive option for routine disinfection in veterinary settings.

Veterinary Uses:

• Pre-operative skin antisepsis: Surgical Spirit is primarily used to cleanse the surgical site in horses and camels before surgery. This helps to minimize the bacterial load on the skin and reduce the risk of post-operative infections.
• Disinfection of medical equipment: Surgical Spirit can be used to disinfect non-critical medical equipment between uses, such as thermometers or stethoscopes.

Important Considerations:

• Surgical Spirit is flammable and should be kept away from open flames or sparks.
• Prolonged or repeated use of Surgical Spirit can cause skin irritation and dryness.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
• Surgical Spirit is not intended for wound cleaning or disinfection. Consult your veterinarian for appropriate wound care products.

Please refer to the product label or consult with your veterinarian for specific dosing recommendations.
