In vitro efficacy of aqueous PVP-iodine solution below 5% as alternative to preoperative antisepsis in ophthalmology as the basis for an in vivo study
The in-vitro tests have shown adequate antisepsis of 1.25% PI prior to intraocular surgery. However, it is important to pay attention to a sufficient contact time of the antiseptic of about 1 min before ophthalmologic intervention. In order to give final recommendations, in vivo testing is needed to build a robust data foundation.
