Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL test substance per plaster
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
The animals were shaved with an electronic clipper 24 hours before the experiment was accomplished.Only animals with an intact skin were used.
The substance was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x2.5 cm cellulose patch on apiece of surgical plaster (specially produced by Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg). The plaster was fixed with a semi-occlusive bandage.
