Zusammenfassung:STABILIZED IODINE-CONTAINING GERMICIDAL PREPARATIONS FOR DEGERMING BODY EXUDATES Iodine-containing germicidal preparations are stabilized for use even in the presence of large amounts of bio-organic matter by the use of maleic acid or mixtures of maleic acid with hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid, the pH of the preparation being not higher than about 3. The use of the above acid in an amount such as to provide a pH of not higher than 2.95 has the effect of stabilizing aqueous solutions of iodine and or iodophors even in the presence of high organic bio-load such as occurs with the use of in-dwelling drainage catheters as in the case of urinary drainage collection bags, gallbladder drainage collection, chest cavity drainage collection and other body exudate collection systems.
