Povidone iodine(Cat No.:A000011)is an antiseptic solution widely used to prevent and treat infections in wounds, cuts, and surgical sites. It combines iodine with the carrier molecule povidone, allowing for a slow release of iodine, which kills a broad spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Known for its reddish-brown color, povidone iodine is a staple in medical and first aid settings for disinfecting skin and mucous membranes. Its effectiveness, affordability, and broad antimicrobial action make it an essential tool in infection control and wound care worldwide.
