does it numb the area for injection?

To disinfect. That specific chemical works better than hand gel disinfectant. It will destroy many pathogens (viruses, fungus, bacteria) that alcohol cannot.
It is also used in personal wipes for women to treat fungus and itching problems.

Benzalkonium Chloride is a mild antiseptic. If comes as pre-packed towelettes, as a spray, and in squirt-bottles. It's probably the most common antiseptic in over-the-counter first aid preparations. A common brand is Bactine, which (mercifully) also includes benzocaine, a local anesthetic.
The towelette form is handy for your biking backpack. The towellette can be used to clean minor scrapes and burns. It can be an emergency scrubber if you've contacted poison ivy

It does absolutely nothing to numb the area; it only provides disinfection and cleaning.
I'm a paramedic, and I read your previous questions. I do a lot of silly stuff because I hate going to the ER (like self diagnosing and treating my asthma) but I would never cut into myself. Because you have no clue about how to set up anything remotely close to a sterile field, you are going to wind up with a nasty infection. You need to see your doctor or go to the ER to get that piece of wood taken out.
Hope this helps...
