Presenting
the results of the research on the sidelines of the Dubai International
Pharmaceuticals and Technologies Conference (Duphat), Professor Dr Maren Eggers,
virologist from the Marburg University, Germany, who conducted an invitro
research on the Ebola virus said that the use of Povidone Iodine on the hands
for just 15 seconds showed a quick virucidal efficacy against Ebola virus which
would be very effective in prevention of the transmission of the Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD).
The professor who conducted an in-vitro research using the antiseptic also used some alcohol-based antiseptics during the research. “While some alcohol-based antiseptics like ethanol were found to be effective, Povidone Iodine eliminated 99.9 per cent of the virus in just 15 seconds. This is the maximum time anyone is going to rub hands while washing and that is why this antiseptic could immediately bring down incidence of spread,” Dr Eggers told Gulf News.

This Povidone Iodine really stains. My late husband had to take a shower and then pour it over his knee before his knee replacement.
Stuff is really strong! |
