The choice of topical drug for treatment for the purpose of influencing the local infectious process is one of the most important tasks in the local wounds therapy. Povidone-Iodine is an effective antiseptic for local use. Povidone-iodine drugs can be used at Phases and 2 of the wound process, exist in several dosage forms, have a pronounced microbicide effect on micro-organisms in the absence of resistance, and penetrate the biofilm in combination with the low frequency of undesirable effects. Thus, povidone-iodine can be used extensively both to prevent wound infection and to treat acute and chronic wounds.
