Denatured alcohol is commonly used for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, equipment and veterinary instruments, thus ensuring a high standard of hygiene and contributing to the elimination of pathogens, bacteria and viruses. The product, available in a 1 liter pack, is characterized by its practicality of use, being easily doseable and easy to handle for every type of need. It leaves no residue and, due to its antimicrobial properties, it is a valid ally for all daily practices that require a sterilized environment. Inhalation of vapors and prolonged contact with the skin must be avoided, while its rapid evaporation makes it ideal for timely cleaning without rinsing. Any residual odors disperse quickly without interfering with the animals' activity.
Therapeutic Indications
Denatured Alcohol 1 Liter for Veterinary Use is indicated for the daily disinfection of surfaces and instruments used in the management of animal health. It is used to clean examination tables, cages, litter boxes, equipment and various objects that frequently come into contact with pets, farm or laboratory animals. It is essential for the prevention of cross-infections between animals, especially in healthcare environments such as clinics, practices and shelters, where the risk of pathogen transmission is high. Its use is also recommended in the pre-operative phase for the sanitization of work surfaces and in veterinary first aid procedures. In addition to use on instruments, it is also recommended for quickly cleaning the hands of healthcare personnel where washing with soap and water is not possible, so as to preserve optimal hygiene conditions. It can be used to eliminate traces of blood, body fluids and other organic residues, significantly reducing the risk of environmental contamination and infections. Do not use directly on open wounds or damaged tissue, but rather as an aid to the surrounding environment.
Composition
Active ingredient: Denatured ethyl alcohol (with technique compliant with standards for veterinary use), known for its excellent antimicrobial properties and ability to rapidly destroy a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Excipients: Denaturing additives in regulated quantities that prevent food use but do not interfere with the action of the product for hygienic-sanitary purposes. The product does not contain additional substances that could leave residues or stain the treated surfaces, nor artificial perfumes that could disturb animals. The components are selected to ensure rapid evaporation without compromising the safety of users or animals. The absence of dyes also makes it suitable for delicate surfaces where it is essential to avoid the formation of persistent marks or marks.
Contraindications
The use of Denatured Alcohol 1 Liter for Veterinary Use is contraindicated in all those situations in which it is necessary to disinfect open wounds, mucous membranes or particularly sensitive areas of animals. It must not be used for internal use on animals nor be applied directly to skin lesions, fresh tattoos, or in case of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or denaturants. In the presence of animals with allergic reactions to products containing alcohol, alternative disinfection measures should be adopted. Avoid use on surfaces that could deteriorate or discolor in contact with alcohol, such as non-resistant plastic materials, rubber or particularly delicate painted surfaces. It is not intended to be used in cleaning implantable medical devices or materials that come into direct contact with sterile solutions, unless otherwise indicated by your veterinarian.
Safety of the drug for the species
Denatured Alcohol 1 Liter for Veterinary Use, applied correctly according to the recommended methods of use, is considered safe for the environment in which the animals reside. However, prolonged inhalation of vapors can be irritating to the respiratory tract of both operators and animals. In closed environments, always ensure adequate ventilation while cleaning. Avoid allowing animals to come into direct contact with surfaces still moist with alcohol; allow to dry completely before placing them back in the treated area. In case of accidental ingestion by the animal, contact a veterinarian promptly. For particularly sensitive animals, care must be taken in case of frequent or massive use, as possible skin reactions or transient irritations could occur locally.
Precautions
The use of denatured alcohol requires certain precautions to ensure the safety of animals, people and the environment. Use the product only in well-ventilated environments, avoiding sources of heat, open flames or sparks nearby, as it is a highly flammable liquid. Wear protective gloves in case of prolonged or large-scale use, to avoid skin irritation. Wash hands thoroughly after handling and prevent the product from being accidentally ingested by animals. Never pour alcohol directly on animals and do not use it to clean sensitive body parts. Store the bottle closed, out of reach of children and animals, in a cool, dry place away from direct light. In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly and consult a doctor if irritation persists. Repeated use on surfaces can lead to dryness or deterioration of materials that are not very resistant to alcohol; always carry out a preliminary test in an inconspicuous area.
Method of administration
Denatured Alcohol 1 Liter for Veterinary Use is applied directly to the surfaces and instruments to be cleaned using a clean cloth or absorbent paper, or using a dedicated sprayer. It does not require rinsing, thanks to rapid evaporation which avoids humidity stagnation. It is possible to dose the necessary quantity avoiding waste: precision in distribution allows uniform cleaning. To disinfect small objects or metal tools, soak them in alcohol for a few minutes, then let them air dry. Do not use on live electrical equipment. It is advisable to avoid application on materials that are already damaged or excessively worn. To clean large surfaces, proceed in sections and ensure that the entire area is treated, leaving the alcohol to act for at least 30 seconds before drying or allowing it to evaporate naturally. If you have any doubts about the surfaces, consult the specific instructions for the material to be sanitized.
Treatment program
Denatured Alcohol 1 Liter for Veterinary Use is indicated for the periodic and regular sanitization of environments and tools used for veterinary management. It is recommended to schedule daily cleaning of surfaces and objects that frequently come into contact with animals, such as kennels, cages, bowls and work tools. The disinfection operation can be increased in periods of greater risk or concentration of animals in the premises. In veterinary contexts or during vaccination campaigns, cleaning of environments and tools must be carried out after each use to prevent the transmission of pathogens. Adapt the frequency of treatment to the specific needs of the work environment and the presence of particular epidemiological conditions, such as influenza epidemics or the appearance of infectious diseases. Repeat cleaning even in the event of a spill of biological liquids, particularly in the presence of sick animals or animals with special needs.
Target species
All animal species as part of the cleaning and disinfection of veterinary environments and instruments. Denatured alcohol is specifically recommended for the sanitization of surfaces, accessories and materials used in rooms where dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles and farm animals stay or transit, ensuring a high standard of hygiene without coming into direct contact with the living tissues of the animals.
