Betadine 10% Povidone Iodine Wound Healing Ointment is highly effective in swiftly eliminating bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus preventing infections in topical wounds. It demonstrates a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity and provides extended wound protection for up to 48 hours. Povidone iodine, a key ingredient, serves as a potent antiseptic that facilitates healing without hindering the process. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms and is applied to the skin to reduce the risk of infection, aiding in the healing of skin wounds, pressure sores, and surgical incisions. It is thought to work by disrupting critical bacterial cellular functions and structures, leading to the oxidation of nucleotides, fatty acids, or amino acids in bacterial cell membranes.
