- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 72 hours after bandage removal
- Number of animals:
- 6 male
- Details on study design:
- Each rabbit was identified by a Monel® metal ear tag bearing the individual animal number.
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 1 intact skin site on the back of each rabbit. Dorsal area
- Type of wrap if used: The test sites were wrapped with 8-ply gauze bandaging and overwrapped with Denniform® tape. A collar (E-Jay Saf-T-Shield) was placed on each rabbit to prevent them from disturbing the application site and wrapping.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Following the exposure period, the bandaging materials and collars were removed and the test sites were wiped with disposable toweling moistened with water to remove any residual material.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
Results and discussion
In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The test sites were evaluated for dermal irritation approximately 0.5-1, 24, 48, and 72 hours following patch removal and scored based on the Draize method. All scores at each observation interval were 0 for each animal.
- Other effects:
- No signs of ill health or test article-related effects were observed during the study.
