Betadine Povidone-Iodine Prep Solutions

Betadine is the trusted brand name for povidone-iodine antiseptics used to clean and disinfect skin before injections, surgical procedures, and wound care. Its broad-spectrum microbicidal action targets bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, which is why it remains a staple in hospitals, clinics, first-aid kits, and home medicine cabinets. Every product in this collection is genuine Betadine povidone-iodine, giving you consistent, professional-grade skin antisepsis.

The two strengths you'll see here answer different needs. The 10% povidone-iodine prep solution is the classic patient-prep antiseptic applied directly to intact skin before procedures or over minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. The 7.5% strength is formulated as a scrub containing a mild detergent, making it well suited for pre-operative hand and skin washing. Choosing between them comes down to whether you need a paint-on prep or a lather-and-rinse scrub.

Sizing runs the full range so you can match volume to how often you use it. The compact 1/2 ounce and 4 ounce bottles are ideal for single-patient prep, travel kits, and treatment rooms, while the 8 ounce and 16 ounce bottles suit busier clinical settings. For facilities that go through antiseptic in volume, the 1 gallon jugs in both 10% and 7.5% strengths offer the lowest cost per ounce for refilling smaller dispensers. When you need controlled, mess-free application, Betadine Solution Swabsticks deliver a measured dose of 10% solution in a 5.38-inch applicator, perfect for prepping injection sites and small wound margins.

Note that these prep solutions are labeled non-sterile, which is standard for topical skin antiseptics applied to intact skin. For a lower-concentration cleanser option, see our Betadine 5% collection.
