General Description

Poloxamer-iodine is a chemical compound composed of the polymer poloxamer and iodine. It is commonly used as an antiseptic and antibacterial agent due to its ability to effectively kill a wide range of microorganisms. The poloxamer component of the compound acts as a surfactant, helping to disperse and solubilize the iodine in water. The iodine component is the active ingredient responsible for the compound's antimicrobial properties. Poloxamer-iodine is commonly used in healthcare settings for pre-operative skin preparation, wound care, and as a disinfectant for medical equipment. It is also found in some over-the-counter antiseptic products for minor cuts and scrapes.
