Answer:

HEY MATE,

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER.

=> Povidone-iodine is a broad spectrum antiseptic for topical application in the treatment and prevention of wound infection.

Povidone-iodine exhibits longer lasting antiseptic effects than tincture of iodine, due to its slow absorption via soft tissue, making it the choice for longer surgeries.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU
