Most first aide quality hydrogen peroxide is only 5%% in strength.
Concentrations in the 40-50%% are commonly found in Industrial
bleaching applications. You can find it in small quantities at places
that supply labratory chemicals. Use extreme caution though as high
concentrations are very dangerous if they come in contact with your
skin. I have seen peroxide strong enough that it would cause bleeding
on contact.
