Iodophors

Iodophors are chemical compounds that consist of iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent, often a surfactant or carrier molecule. These compounds are widely used as disinfectants, sanitizers, and antiseptics due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The term "iodophor" is derived from "iodine" and "phor," which means "carrier" in Greek.

Iodophors are commonly used in various settings, including healthcare facilities, food processing, water treatment, and sanitation, for their effectiveness in killing or inhibiting the growth of various microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. They are used for both surface disinfection and as skin antiseptics.
