I have old cuts I put rubbing isopropyl alcohol on it, it cleaned slowly and vanish the blood clots, I would likes to know can isopropyl alcohol Blood clots soluble?
Sounds painful. Here is a paper on wound care from NCBI -- there are better solutions for dissolving external blood clots and doing proper wound care:Lakkana said:I have old cuts I put rubbing isopropyl alcohol on it, it cleaned slowly and vanish the blood clots, I would likes to know can isopropyl alcohol Blood clots soluble?

Chronic wounds present a significant societal burden in their cost of care, and they reduce patient quality of life. Key components of wound care include such measures as debridement, irrigation, and wound cleaning. Appropriate care removes necrotic tissue and reduces wound bioburden to enhance wound healing. Physical cleaning with debridement and irrigation is of documented efficacy. Wounds may be washed with water, saline, or Ringer's solution or cleaned with active ingredients, such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, acetic acid, alcohol, ionized silver preparations, chlorhexidine, polyhexanide/betaine solution, or povidone-iodine--the majority of which are locally toxic and of limited or no proven efficacy in enhancing wound healing. Although the consensus opinion is that these topical cleaning agents should not be routinely used, recent clinical evidence suggests that polyhexanide/betaine may be nontoxic and effective in enhancing wound healing. Further well-designed studies are needed.
No, isopropyl alcohol cannot dissolve blood clots. It is not a strong enough solvent to break down the proteins and fibrin that make up blood clots.
No, isopropyl alcohol is not used for preventing blood clots. It is primarily used as an antiseptic and disinfectant for cleaning wounds and surfaces.
No, isopropyl alcohol is not a treatment for blood clots. It is important to seek medical attention for proper treatment of blood clots.
No, it is not safe to use isopropyl alcohol on open wounds with blood clots. This can cause further irritation and damage to the wound. It is best to seek medical attention for proper wound care.
No, isopropyl alcohol does not have any effect on the thickness or viscosity of blood clots. It is not a suitable substance for thinning out blood clots.
