OP...your snake will be good...sorry to have jacked your thread  |
not asking to try and argue, i'm genuinely trying to find out why there is a difference, if there is a good reason for me to not using Iodine, then i want to know about it! I find it odd that there is a discrepancy, although I have my suspicions about the discrepancy (ie marketing!)
I cannot find anything in the literature I have access to, including my old work pubmed account, which shows that any alternative product is better than current iodine solutions, or any proof that iodine slows wound healing, and there are quite a few companies introducing products with that claim, at a significant mark up over iodine preperations...I'm going to ask my mum about it, she has been at the forefront of wound management research for the last 30 years....and i know for a fact she's got Iodine in her cupboard.
(btw Wounds International is not the same as Wound Care International, the former is a group of specialists including doctors, consultants, nurses and other researchers who provide information only when it has been peer reviewed and the data sets are available in full, unlike many private companies who provide only the parts of their datasets which support their marketing claims...)
