Based on 403 operations with treatment of the operating field with 5% alcoholic solution of picric acid, the author considers the latter to be quite reliable means for disinfection of the operating field (4% of suppuration). Due to its strong skin tanning properties, picric acid solution can replace iodine tincture.
