Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) has been used in wound care for decades because of its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In a dressing format, it is combined with a carrier layer so that iodine is released gradually at the wound surface.
Why it matters
For healthcare providers, a well-designed PVP-I dressing can support infection management while keeping dressing changes simple. Non-adherent constructions help reduce trauma to the wound bed during removal.
What to look for
- Consistent iodine concentration and release
- A non-adherent contact layer
- Sterile, individually packed formats
- Documented quality under CE and ISO 13485
