Povidone Iodine 5% w/v is a broad-spectrum antiseptic solution commonly used for preoperative skin preparation, wound cleaning, and prevention of infections. It is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, making it ideal for minor cuts, abrasions, burns, and surgical site disinfection. Povidone Iodine gradually releases iodine, providing sustained antimicrobial action while being gentle on the skin. It is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home first aid kits for effective infection control. The 5% w/v concentration ensures optimal efficacy while minimizing skin irritation.
