GlossaryPovidone-iodine (PVP-I)

antiseptic solution used to disinfect skin and wounds

Povidone-iodine, often known by the brand name Betadine, is an antiseptic solution used to disinfect skin and wounds. It combines iodine with povidone, a polymer that helps release iodine slowly, making it effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This solution is commonly used in medical settings for preoperative skin preparation and to prevent infections in minor cuts and abrasions.
