Comparative Study of 10% Povidone-iodine Against 10% Sodium Hypochlorite as Skin Antiseptics in Human Volunteers.
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating WHOLE GROUP OF 48 VOLUNTEERS for Healthy Volunteers. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators have few options for skin antisepsis. Alternatives for povidone-iodine, which is the most commonly used agent, are costly or ineffective. To have more options, this study is needed. The investigators want to know if there are difference between the use of 10% sodium hypochlorite or 10% povidone-iodine for skin antisepsis.

Timeline
Interventions
Two antiseptics (10% povidone iodine and 10% sodium hypochlorite) and one control were tested as skin antiseptics. The intervention consisted of preparing the skin with the antiseptic or the control. The areas were approximately 25 cm2 on the forearm for each antiseptic or control. The antiseptic or control were applied in an outward circular motion using a swab that was soaked with the solution. The solution was then kept on the skin for 60 seconds before the bacterial culture was conducted. All volunteers were instructed to continue the use of neutral soap and shampoo without antiseptics during the follow-up period.
