The Real Thing – Must Have for Any BOB or Home Kit
This stuff is amazing, what more can be said. It's exactly what the doctor ordered, literally. It's exactly what the doctor ordered. Please keep in mind that povidone-iodine is not meant to go inside of wounds, as it can damage tissue and prevent healing. It is intended for areas around wounds, because infections will creep into wounds right there from the skin around the wound, the dirt there, and so it is used primarily for cleaning areas prior to opening a wound, like a shot, or after the wound has happened. It's important not to use INSIDE of a wound. This stuff will continue to work AFTER it's applied to the outer area around a wound, which completely kills all the bacteria that would try to get in. Laceration happens, flush the wound with clean water using whatever necessary pressure, fill wound if necessary with gauze if it won't stop bleeding, basically stop the bleeding. Then clean around the wound with the Betadine and properly bandage the wound to keep any and all outside elements from entering the wound. It is best to give the wound a very wide berth of room. Use right up to the wound and a couple inches outward at least so that the bacteria always remains at least two inches from the wound. Thanks for the great product that is exactly the same product that doctors in hospitals and clinics the world over are using. This stuff also lasts forever, way past its expiration date, but you didn't hear that from me. Basically in ten years, if you're forced to use this or nothing, use this. The active ingredients are still there! Shake a bit if necessary! Dr. Jonman - (not!) Just practiced is all :
