What is the purpose of using Sudecon Wipes for a patient exposed to pepper spray?

Using Sudecon Wipes for a patient exposed to pepper spray is specifically aimed at assisting in decontamination. Pepper spray contains oleoresin capsicum, which can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. The primary objective after exposure is to remove the irritant from the affected areas to alleviate symptoms such as pain, burning, and difficulty breathing.

Sudecon Wipes are designed to effectively cleanse the skin and remove contaminants, helping to reduce the overall effects of exposure to pepper spray. This decontamination process is crucial in preventing prolonged suffering and complications associated with the irritant, thereby promoting a quicker recovery for the patient.

While alleviating pain, improving breathing, and stopping bleeding are essential aspects of patient care, they are not the primary function of Sudecon Wipes in the context of pepper spray exposure. The wipes serve a targeted purpose of cleaning the skin and neutralizing the chemical effects of the pepper spray.
