Povidone-iodine smear stick
Povidone-iodine 10% is a broad-spectrum antiseptic substance used topically for the treatment and prevention of wound infections. It can be used in first aid for minor cuts, scrapes, burns and ulcers.
Povidone-iodine shows a long-lasting effect compared to tincture of iodine due to its slow absorption through soft tissues, which made it a suitable choice for long procedures.
