Pivipol 5 % Ointment 15 Gm

Pivipol 5 % Ointment is used for disinfecting the skin and supporting wound hygiene. It works as a topical antiseptic that helps manage infection in wounds, cuts, abrasions and ulcers. It contains Povidone Iodine, which gradually releases iodine on contact with skin to combat harmful microbes. This slow-release action ensures prolonged protection while reducing the chances of microbial growth.

• Povidone Iodine: Povidone Iodine serves as an antiseptic that helps in reducing the presence of harmful microorganisms on the skin. It gradually releases iodine, which interacts with bacterial, viral and fungal cells, disrupting their structural integrity and assisting in their removal. This property supports wound hygiene and helps in maintaining a clean and protected environment for skin recovery. It also works by oxidising essential cellular components of microbes, which compromises their ability to survive. This mechanism helps in keeping wounds, cuts and ulcers free from contamination while supporting better hygiene. The non-irritating nature of the formulation helps in maintaining skin comfort while supporting overall skin care.

• Manages Infections in Minor Cuts and Wounds: Pivipol Ointment contains Povidone Iodine, which supports cleansing of superficial cuts, abrasions, and scrapes. It helps manage the risk of contamination by removing dirt and microbes from the wound surface.
   
• Disinfection in Surgical or Post-Operative Areas: Povidone Iodine assists in sterilising the skin before surgical procedures. It supports hygiene in post-surgery care by reducing surface microbial activity. It also contributes to lowering microbial contamination on sutured or healing skin.
   
• Cleans Ulcers and Pressure Sores: Povidone Iodine supports care routines for pressure sores and chronic ulcers. It helps remove debris and discharge from the affected skin. Its action contributes to a cleaner wound bed for further care.
   
• Reduces Microbial Load on the Skin: Povidone Iodine helps minimise the buildup of harmful microbes on the skin surface. It is commonly used in pre-operative scrubbing and surface cleansing. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial nature makes it effective for routine skin hygiene.
   
• Relieves Bacterial Skin Infections: Pivipol Ointment can help manage bacteria responsible for such infections and reduce them from spreading. By keeping the infection under control, it may assist in relieving discomfort and skin irritation.
