What is Betadine, and where can we get it?
Betadine is a tradename of Purdue Federick Company in North America. It is a 10% aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone complexed with iodine, and is universally used in the surgical operating room for disinfecting the skin surface. Sigma chemicals in St. Louis, MO, sells the dry powder form or ask your local pharmacy who may stock the 10% solution. Otherwise, ask your University/Institute veterinarian, who may provide you with a small amount with charge.
