Nuova FARMEC's 10% povidone-iodine solution in a 500 ml bottle is a ready-to-use aqueous solution indicated for general antisepsis of intact skin in medical and surgical settings. Formulated with 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (5 g per 100 g of solution), this disinfectant is particularly suitable for preparing and delineating the surgical field, as well as for skin disinfection after blood sampling or injections.

The product is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and viruses (including adenovirus and murine norovirus) thanks to the presence of free available iodine, which is gradually released upon contact with the skin, exerting a direct oxidizing action. POVI IODINE 100 has been tested by accredited laboratories according to European efficacy standards and has demonstrated bactericidal, yeasticidal, and virucidal activity.
