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.
A less expensive generic version of povidone iodine is available in our online store for your convenience or you may be able to find it at a drug store near you under the brand name Betadine. In a small container, dilute 10% povidone iodine with water. Water it down to the color of iced tea. There is no scientific formula or need for exact proportions. (If you feel the need for a formula, start with 10 parts water to 1 part iodine.) If it comes up too light, just add a bit more of the iodine.
