SPIRIT 5 LTR

DISCRIPTION THIS PRODUCT :-

SPIRIT 5 LTR (Super CLENICAL – Isopropyl Alcohol Solution) is a high-volume, hospital-grade antiseptic formulated for external use, primarily composed of isopropyl alcohol in concentrations ranging from 68% to 72%. Its clinical efficacy is rooted in the chemical properties of isopropyl alcohol, which acts as a rapid and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Upon application, isopropyl alcohol penetrates microbial cell walls, denatures proteins, and dissolves lipid membranes, leading to irreversible cell damage and death. This dual mechanism makes it highly effective against a wide range of pathogens including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2. However, it is not sporicidal and has limited efficacy against non-enveloped viruses and bacterial spores. The solution evaporates quickly, leaving no residue, which is ideal for pre-injection skin preparation, wound cleansing, and surface disinfection in clinical environments. Its non-sticky nature and rapid action make it suitable for high-frequency use in hospitals, physiotherapy centers, and laboratories. The 5-liter packaging is designed for bulk usage, featuring a tamper-proof HDPE container with a secure screw cap and handle for safe handling. Labeling typically includes safety warnings such as “For External Use Only” and flammability icons, along with batch details and expiry dates to ensure compliance with Indian Pharmacopoeia (I.P.) standards. While generally well tolerated, prolonged use may cause skin dryness or irritation, which can be mitigated by adding emollients like castor oil. SPIRIT 5 LTR is a cost-effective and versatile disinfectant solution that plays a critical role in maintaining hygiene and infection control across medical and surgical settings.

🧪 Theoretical Basis of SPIRIT 5 LTR (Isopropyl Alcohol Solution)

🔬 1. Pharmacological Classification:-

• Category: Topical antiseptic and disinfectant
• Active Ingredient: Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), typically 68–72% concentration
• Formulation Type: Volatile liquid
• Route of Administration: External application only

🧬 2. Mechanism of Action:-

• Protein Denaturation: Isopropyl alcohol disrupts hydrogen bonding in microbial proteins, leading to irreversible denaturation and cell death.
• Lipid Solubilization: It dissolves the lipid bilayer of bacterial and viral membranes, causing leakage and lysis.
• Rapid Evaporation: IPA evaporates quickly, which enhances its antimicrobial action and leaves no residue on skin or surfaces.

This dual action makes IPA effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses.

🧫 3. Microbiological Spectrum:-

• Effective Against:
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Escherichia coli
  • Candida albicans
  • Influenza virus
  • SARS-CoV-2

✅ Benefits of Using SPIRIT 5 LTR:-

• Broad-Spectrum Antiseptic: Effective against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses
• Fast-Acting: Rapid microbial kill within seconds of application
• Cost-Effective: Large volume reduces per-use cost in high-demand environments
• Skin-Safe Formulation: Contains emollients to reduce irritation from alcohol
• Compliance Ready: Meets safety labeling and usage standards for clinical settings
• Versatile Utility: Suitable for both skin and surface disinfection

🩺 Clinical Applications:-

• Skin disinfection before injections or minor procedures
