Betadona® Wound Spray, 30 G

Betadona® Wound Spray – Betadona Wound Spray is the ideal treatment for wounds such as cuts caused by contaminated objects, deep grazes, lacerations, burst blisters and grazed toes.

Povidone-iodine has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and certain single-celled organisms (protozoa). Reliable wound disinfection largely prevents infections and promotes rapid, trouble-free healing. Due to its mode of action, there is no risk of pathogens developing resistance to povidone-iodine. By binding to povidone, the iodine largely loses the irritating properties of alcoholic iodine preparations and is well tolerated by the skin, mucous membranes and wounds. During the process of action, the iodine loses its colour; the depth of the brown discolouration therefore indicates its effectiveness. Once the colour has faded, a further application is required. Povidone-iodine is water-soluble and easily washed off.
