In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.
research Systematic characterization of the barrier function of diverse ex vivo models of damaged human skin
In this study, different treatments on ex vivo skin models effectively simulated varying levels of skin damage, demonstrating the value of these models in testing skin repair products and studying how a compromised skin barrier affects viral penetration.
research THE USE OF AUTORADIOGRAPHY TO STUDY THE LOCALIZATION OF GERMICIDES IN SKIN
This study used an autoradiographic technique to observe that germicides in surfactants are primarily deposited on the stratum corneum of guinea-pig and human skin.
research Skin toxicity determined in vitro by three-dimensional, native-state histoculture.
This study describes a gel-supported in vitro system for culturing skin samples that may effectively replace animal systems for toxicity testing, showing high correlation with in vivo skin toxicity measurements.
research In vivo investigation of the efficiency of a nanoparticle-emulsion containing polihexanide on the human skin
This study suggests that using particle-bound antiseptics may provide more effective and longer-lasting skin antisepsis compared to their non-particulate forms.
