FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to antimicrobial compositions and methods for using them, and aims at the preoperative skin processing and disinfection, wound care, and as a disinfectant for sterilisation of surgical instruments. An antimicrobial composition contains at least approximately 30 wt % or more of C-Calcohol, approximately 1.5 wt % to 15 wt % of citric acid, approximately 0.01 wt % to 1 wt % of paraben, and approximately 0.01 wt % to 0.2 wt % of a redox compound. The antimicrobial composition has pH from approximately 3 to approximately 7. The other aspects present an applicator that comprises an absorbent material and an absorbed antimicrobial composition, or an adsorbent material and a handle comprising an amount of the antimicrobial composition.EFFECT: using the group of inventions provides effective and fast elimination of microorganisms particularly found on the skin surface, thereby providing the antimicrobial effect stable for a long period of time after use.33 cl, 12 dwg, 2 tbl, 6 ex |
