Surgical spirit, also known as rubbing alcohol or antiseptic spirit, typically consists of a mixture of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), isopropyl alcohol, and sometimes methanol. It may also contain small amounts of other additives such as water, denaturants, and essential oils to enhance its antiseptic properties and mask its odor. The primary use of surgical spirit is for disinfection and as a solvent in medical settings.
