Betadine Ointment 40G

Topical wound infections can be avoided by using Betadine 10% Povidone Iodine Wound Healing Ointment, which is very successful at quickly getting rid of bacteria, viruses, and fungus.  It offers prolonged wound protection for up to 48 hours and has a wide range of microbicidal action.  One important component, povidone iodine, acts as a strong antibacterial that promotes healing without impeding it.  It is applied to the skin to lower the risk of infection and promote the healing of surgical incisions, pressure sores, and wounds because it works well against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.  It is believed to function by interfering with essential bacterial cellular processes and structures, which causes the oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, or nucleotides in bacterial cell membranes.
