Betadine First Aid Solution 1*50ml

Betadine First Aid Solution

Betadine First Aid Solution is an antiseptic liquid formulated to protect the skin from infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is commonly used for cleaning and treating minor wounds, small burns, cuts, and abrasions. The active ingredient, Povidone-Iodine (10% W/V), acts by eliminating harmful microorganisms and preventing them from multiplying. This solution helps maintain a clean wound surface, encouraging faster healing and reducing the chance of further infection. It is widely trusted for household first aid and medical use because of its broad-spectrum germ-fighting action.

How Betadine First Aid Solution Works

• The main component, Povidone-Iodine, slowly releases iodine when applied to the skin
• Iodine penetrates the cells of microorganisms and destroys vital proteins and enzymes
• This process kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa present on the wound surface
• By preventing microbial growth, the solution helps keep the skin sterile and healthy
