Povinol

Ophthalmic antiseptic solution

Povinol is a novel formulation of an eye antiseptic with a improved pH allowing for direct application to the eye without irritation and an optimized iodine concentration, which significantly reduces damage to healthy epithelial cells while maintaining its excellent antiseptic properties.

Other benefits of Povinol include the inability to develop bacterial resistance, capability to be used repeatedly in all age groups, inexpensive, and highly effective against a wide range of infectious agents including Gram positive and negative bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

Since the concentration has been optimized and the irritation factors have been eliminated, Povinol can be extended beyond pre- and post-surgical antisepsis to an over-the-counter eye antiseptic to reduce infections caused by minor cuts and scratches.
