| Abstract | ||
| A new iodophor was designed so that iodine is complexed with the cationic polysaccharide chitosan. The study showed that chitosan-iodine complex (CIC) is readily dispersible in water and gradually releases most of the free iodine. CIC proved to be more effective antimicrobial agent than the widely used povidone-iodine (betadine). | ||
