Hi all, Could anyone tell me the name of the sterilizing solution that is used by hospitals to sterilize wounds. It is a brown coloured liquid that has to be diluted, I used it some years ago it sterilzers instantly so no need to leave things soaking.
I can not for the life of me remember the name of it, it is brilliant stuff. Thanks for any replies.

Re: Sterilizer
Thanks Kieth, you had me scratching my head there for a while i have never heard of Iodophor before, but when i checked it online it sounded like the stuff i could not remember.
Thanks Fil, thats the name i was aware of, i used it for quite a wile some years back and then stopped brewing for a few years due to health problems, it worked out great for me back then.
Thanks Mashman, i will be on to that right away.
I have actually just bought some ivitro from Amazon i read the instructions and warnings re pets and such after i bought it, i would not have bought it if i'd known. I'll use it upthough, but i will then move back to Iodophor/Vidine after that. I will buy the Vidine now while its at that price and save it since prices are rising so quickly.
Thanks again to you all.

Re: Sterilizer
It is brilliant stuff and my primary sanitiser on a brew day, but once it is mixed with water (about 1.5ml per litre of water), it does need 2 mins contact time to effectively sanitise. The equipment should also be left to drip off so that it is relatively dry before using it, minimising the amount of iodophor that ends up in your beer.pburg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 12:56 amHi all, Could anyone tell me the name of the sterilizing solution that is used by hospitals to sterilize wounds.
