Betadine 5% Solution 200ml

Betadine 5% Solution 200ml is used for controlling microbial growth and reduces the risk of infections in cuts, wounds, burns and surgical sites. It is a standardised microbicidal solution containing 5% w/v Povidone-Iodine, widely used as an antiseptic for wound management and skin disinfection. The slow-release iodine formulation ensures a prolonged germicidal effect, protecting against many bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa and bacterial spores. This antiseptic solution is effective even in the presence of blood, pus or necrotic tissue, ensuring continuous action as long as its golden-brown colour is visible. It is commonly used for pre-and post-operative skin preparation, minor wound care and general antiseptic cleansing. Betadine 5% Solution is designed for external use only and applied directly to the affected area using a swab or soaked dressing. The solution is ideal for first-aid use, helping manage minor wounds, abrasions and surgical incisions. With its non-irritating formula and strong antimicrobial properties, Betadine 5% Solution is crucial in infection control and wound care hygiene.
