BETADINE MICRO.SOL 100ML

About

BETADINE Microbicidal Solution is a potent antiseptic containing povidone-iodine, meticulously formulated to deliver broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against a comprehensive range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. The solution operates by releasing free iodine, which rapidly and effectively oxidizes critical cellular components of these microorganisms, leading to their swift destruction. This microbicidal solution is highly versatile and suitable for various antiseptic applications, encompassing the thorough disinfection of intact skin, effective cleansing of minor wounds, and for general hygiene purposes where a strong and reliable antimicrobial effect is paramount. Its proven efficacy plays a vital role in preventing infections and maintaining a clean, sterile environment, which is essential for effective wound care, surgical preparation, and overall infection control.
