Description

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine USP

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine USP is a high-purity, topical antiseptic complex used in pharmaceutical and medical applications for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. As a combination of Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and Iodine, this formulation provides effective antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it a valuable agent for wound care, surgical preparation, and infection control. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine

• Is a USP-compliant complex of Iodine and Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)
• Is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent effective against a wide range of pathogens
• Is suitable for topical applications, including wound care and skin disinfection
• Provides controlled iodine release, reducing irritation and enhancing stability
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine (PVP-I) is formed by combining iodine with Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), a water-soluble polymer. The iodine is tightly bound to the PVP, which helps to stabilize the iodine and release it gradually, ensuring prolonged antimicrobial activity without causing significant irritation to the skin.

In pharmaceutical and clinical applications, Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine USP is used in:

• Topical antiseptic solutions for wound cleaning, burns, and abrasions
• Surgical skin preparation prior to invasive procedures or catheter insertion
• Ophthalmic preparations for eye infections and disinfection
• Infection control products for preoperative skin disinfection and post-surgical care
• Veterinary applications for animal wound care and infection prevention

PVP-I releases Iodine slowly, providing sustained antimicrobial action while minimizing the risk of skin irritation, which is a common issue with iodine-based disinfectants. The complex is also water-soluble and non-staining, making it convenient for both hospital and home care settings.

CarboMer supplies Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine USP with tight control over iodine content, polymer stability, and microbial purity. The product conforms to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph standards for use in topical antiseptic formulations.

The material is packaged in sealed, tamper-evident, moisture-resistant containers. Available in R&D, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation, including CoA and SDS, are available upon request.

Each batch is tested for identity (IR, UV), Iodine content, stability, loss on drying, pH, heavy metals, and microbial purity. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.

As with all CarboMer antiseptic and topical products, Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Iodine USP is supported by regulatory expertise, formulation assistance, and reliable global supply to ensure effective, safe, and compliant applications in healthcare settings.
