Product Description
Povidone iodine is iodophor, used as topical antiseptic in surgery and for skin and mucous membrane infections, also as aerosol. A 10% povidone iodine solution contains 1% available iodine, but free-iodine is at 0.1% concentration. Skin exposure causes irritant rather than allergic contact dermatitis. In such a situation, however, iodine seems to be the true hapten.
