How does the action of hydrogen peroxide mechanically clean a wound?
Hydrogen peroxide is used much less often today, except in some OB departments in hospitals. The reason, besides stinging when used, is that it causes tissue destruction at the wound edges which can make healing slower. Hospitals use Betadine solution (an organically-bound iodine solution) to cleanse wounds. For home use I would simply keep some Neosporin ointment available. While hydrogen peroxide is relatively safe to use on a wound, it is much more suited for disinfecting inanimate surfaces. The reason for this is that the enzyme catalase is found in your blood. Catalase rapidly breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (the bubbles) before the peroxide really has a chance to help.
