Merbromin（Cat No.:M071565）is an organomercuric compound with antiseptic and antibacterial properties, commonly recognized by its red dye. Historically used as a topical antiseptic, it functions by inhibiting bacterial growth, preventing infection in minor cuts, abrasions, and burns. Though no longer widely used in some countries due to its mercury content, Merbromin remains effective for disinfecting wounds in specific applications. Its distinctive color aids in identifying treated areas, and it continues to be studied in niche settings for its antimicrobial effectiveness, especially where alternative antiseptics are less accessible.
