METHYLATED SPIRIT 100ML

Essential Antiseptic for Every Home and First Aid Kit

Methylated Spirit 100ml is a versatile and powerful antiseptic solution, a staple in first aid care across Kenya. Often referred to as surgical spirit, it is primarily composed of ethanol, denatured to make it unsuitable for consumption, and typically contains additives like methanol and a violet dye. This formulation makes it an effective, fast-evaporating disinfectant for skin and surfaces. Its primary role is to prevent infection by killing bacteria and other microbes, making it indispensable for minor wound care, medical instrument sterilization, and general hygiene.

Key Benefits of Methylated Spirit

• Powerful Disinfection: Effectively kills germs and bacteria on skin and hard surfaces to prevent infection.
• Fast-Acting & Evaporates Quickly: Dries rapidly on the skin, leaving no residue and providing a cooling sensation.
• Versatile First Aid Use: Ideal for cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions before applying a bandage.
• Pre-Procedure Skin Prep: Commonly used to disinfect skin areas before injections, blood tests, or other minor medical procedures.
• Surface Sterilization: Perfect for cleaning thermometers, tweezers, and other first aid tools.

How to Use Safely and Effectively

For wound care, apply a small amount to a clean piece of cotton wool or gauze and gently wipe the skin around the injury. Avoid pouring directly onto deep or open wounds as it may cause stinging and delay healing. For sterilizing objects, wipe the surface thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely. Always use in a well-ventilated area, keep the bottle tightly closed, and store away from flames, sparks, and heat sources due to its highly flammable nature. Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes.

Who Needs Methylated Spirit?

This is a must-have for every household, workplace first aid kit, school clinic, and healthcare setting. It is essential for parents caring for active children, athletes dealing with minor injuries, diabetics who need to prepare skin for blood glucose testing, and anyone seeking a reliable antiseptic for everyday cuts and scrapes. Its affordability and effectiveness make it a fundamental component of responsible first aid preparedness. Order from MedMarket Pharmacy — Kenya's trusted online pharmacy.
