Further information

Povidone-iodine is a broad spectrum antiseptic for topical application in treating and preventing wound infection. It may be used in first aid for minor cuts, burns, abrasions and blisters. 

Povidone-iodine exhibits longer-lasting antiseptic effects than a tincture of iodine due to its slow absorption via soft tissue, making it the choice for longer surgeries. Chlorhexidine provides superior results with equivalent adverse events.

Contraindications / Precautions

Change dressing daily or more often according to the condition of the wound. As with all adhesive products apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin. Seek medical advice immediately for all serious wounds and burns. If redness or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician.
