Dukal Sterile Povidone-Iodine Paint Sponge Sticks are pre-saturated topical antiseptic applicators designed for efficient preoperative skin preparation, venipuncture site disinfection, and minor surgical site care. Saturated with a 10% USP Povidone-Iodine solution (yielding 1% available iodine), these long-handled sponge applicators deliver broad-spectrum microbicidal action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. The extended handle allows clinicians to maintain aseptic control while prepping surgical sites and hard-to-reach areas without direct skin contact.
