Acriflavine is a chemical compound with an orange color and notable non-irritating antiseptic properties. When mixed at a ratio of one in a thousand with pure glycerine, it is employed for the purpose of cleansing infected wounds and addressing boils. Acriflavine’s antiseptic qualities are effective in eliminating harmful microorganisms, while glycerine functions as a drawing agent, facilitating the extraction of bodily fluids from deep within the wound and promoting its cleansing.
