Surgical Spirit is a topical antiseptic formulated primarily with denatured alcohol, designed to cleanse and disinfect skin and surfaces. Its effectiveness is rooted in the biochemical action of alcohols and complementary agents:

1. Denatured Ethanol (95%)

• Mechanism: Ethanol denatures proteins and dissolves lipids, disrupting microbial cell membranes and leading to cell lysis.
• Spectrum: Broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.
• Volatility: Rapid evaporation ensures quick drying and minimal residue, ideal for pre-injection or pre-operative use.

2. Castor Oil (2.5%)

• Function: Acts as an emollient to counteract the drying effect of alcohol.
• Clinical Benefit: Prevents skin cracking and irritation, especially with repeated use in hospital settings.

3. Diethyl Phthalate (2%)

• Role: Used as a denaturant and solvent stabilizer.
• Safety Note: Included in minimal concentrations; enhances formulation stability without compromising skin safety.

4. Methyl Salicylate (0.5%)

• Function: Mild counter-irritant and analgesic.
• Clinical Use: Provides a cooling sensation and may reduce minor discomfort during application.
