- STUDY DESIGN
One rabbit was initially treated. After considerationof the skin reactions produced in the first animal, two additional animals were treated.
TEST SITE
On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. At each site a quantity of 0.5 mL of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animal was returned to its cage for the duration of the 1 and 4 hour exposure periods.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after the application, the patch was removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, two additional animals were treated.
One patch was applied to the back of each rabbit, and was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a period of four hours.
OBSERVATIONS
The skin reactions were assessed at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressings and test substance. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded.

- STUDY DESIGN
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.
TREATMENT
A volume of 0.1 mL of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test material, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made.
