A 10% povidone-iodine (PVP-I) antiseptic solution. It is the non-foaming "paint" form: applied to skin and left to dry as the final step of surgical prep, or diluted for wound flushing. For washing and scrubbing a site first, the foaming PVP Iodine Scrub 7.5% is the usual partner. Iodine stains fabric and pale coats, and is not suitable for animals with a known iodine sensitivity.
5L drum. Part of the Apex range; see also Health Care.
