Distributor, a global front-runner in medical technology, believes that the right tools and resources help you achieve significant and lasting results, even if it is as basic as a povidone-iodine prep solution. It is known as iodopovidone, an antiseptic that performs the role of skin disinfection before and after surgery. This solution is also used by those that provide healthcare to disinfect their hands before treating minor wounds. The povidone-iodine prep solution is considered safe for external application on the skin.

Features: The povidone-iodine prep solution is a stable chemical combination of PVP and elemental iodine. It contains 10% weight by volume of Povidone Iodine, USP solution equivalent to 1% available iodine. It comes in 2 oz. bottles which are packed as 48 bottles per case.

Uses: The povidone-iodine prep solution prevents skin infection that may occur if burns, blisters, surface cuts, or abrasions are left untreated. When applied to the skin, the iodine is slowly released and works to inhibit the development of microbes.

Medical workers use it at hospitals, clinics, and even at home to thwart infections and heal surgical incisions or pressure sores. It is also used to treat vaginal infections as it kills harmful bacteria and controls their growth. Not only is it effective in preparing the affected area for a surgical procedure, but it also acts as a first aid antiseptic.

A word of caution: The povidone-iodine prep solution is not meant for use on severe puncture wounds as acidosis, increased blood sodium, or kidney problems may result. It is not recommended for use by pregnant women and thyroid patients.
