Providone iodine is a broad-range antimicrobial that kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa and yeast. Medline’s Providone Iodine prep pads form a skin protection against microbes that keeps working until the solution is washed from the skin. The solution is also available in a swab stick. Each pad or swab stick is saturated with a 10 percent PVP-I, uSP solution equivalent to 1 percent available iodine.
