povidone-iodine (PVP-I) a complex produced by reacting iodine with the polymer povidone; it slowly releases iodine and is used as a topical antiinfective agent.
One way to dissolve iodine in water is to add potassium or sodium iodine. Those salts dissolve into potassium or sodium ions and iodine ions. The iodine ion (I-) reacts with the free iodine (I2) to form a triiodide ion (I3-) which is soluble in water and can react with glucose chains. A solution of iodine and potassium iodine is also called Lugol's iodine and was one of the first uses of iodine as a disinfectant. Further improvements have lead to the use of other solubilizing agents, which lead to the iodine products that we use today for sanitization and disinfecting purposes (see povidone-iodine, Wikipedia).
