  • Title: [Efficacy of 2 antiseptics intended for the disinfection of normal skin].
    Author: Chapon JL, Ducel G.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1990 Jan 16; 79(3):43-6. PubMed ID: 2405462.
    Abstract:
    In Switzerland, antiseptics must be checked for their "in use" efficacy before being admitted by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). Betadine solution standardized and Merfen tincture widely used in Swiss hospitals for skin disinfection, were compared following federal prescriptions. Tests were performed by the technique of Williamson and Kligman modified by Fleurette and Transy. After comparison of statistical data (t test at 5% probability) we concluded that both products in these defined conditions present similar efficacy and obey to prescriptions of FOPH.
