Dynarex Povidone Iodine Prep Solution

Dynarex Provione-Iodine (PVP-I) Prep Solution (Betadine)

I bought this item for wound care. After some surgery, my physician suggested that I purchase some Betadine. This is an antiseptic solution used to help prevent infections. Used for minor wounds, burns, lacerations and infections. May be covered with gauze or adhesive bandage. Active ingredient is 10% povidone-iodine.

I used this as a wash around the surgical wound and it healed extraordinarily fast. I used it twice daily and I was happy the wound healed well. This solution is an iodine like solution and it will stain a wash cloth or clothes that are in contact with the solution, but it can be washed out with a solution of Borax. After bathing the area I washed the solution from the area of skin.

PVP-I is completely soluble in cold water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and glycerol. Its stability in solution is much greater than that of tincture of iodine or Lugol's solution.

Free iodine, slowly liberated from the poviodine-iodine (PVP-I) complex in solution, kills eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells through iodination of lipids and oxidation of cytoplasmic and membrane compounds. This agent exhibits a broad range of microbicidal activity against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Slow release of iodine from the PVPI complex in solution minimizes iodine toxicity towards mammalian cells.

There is a caveat: Since this is an iodine solution an there are allergies to iodine when used on the skin. I would test this solution on a small area before you use it on a large surface area. Otherwise, this is an allpurpose topical antiseptic solution that is used for all kinds of skin antisepsis.

I think the product and value are excellent. However, they shipped it in an envelope with no protection what so ever. The bottle suffered trauma to the cap and cracked it. Perhaps include a cardboard helmet of sorts for the cap during shipping? Since I lost half the cap, the bottle doesn't seal so I cannot transport it if I need and I'm sure the shelf life has been cut to a fraction of what it would have been otherwise.

Arrived in time for my post-op wound care. Very good price. More than I needed. Threw out most of it because I healed up quick.
