Betadona® Wound Spray, 80 G

Betadona® Wound Spray - Betadona Wound Spray is the ideal remedy for wounds such as cuts with contaminated objects, deep abrasions, lacerations, burst blisters and chafed toes.

Povidone-iodine has a comprehensive germicidal effect. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and certain protozoa. Reliable wound disinfection largely prevents infections and favours rapid, problem-free healing. Due to its mode of action, there is no need to worry about the resistance of infectious agents 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. The iodine discolours during the action process, the depth of the brown colouring therefore indicates its effectiveness. Povidone iodine is water-soluble and easy to wash off.
