Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
A 0.5 g amount of the test substance was applied under a 2.5 cm square gauze pad moistened with 0.5 mL saline to two intact and two abraded skin sites on each animal.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
5 day
Number of animals:
6 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Approximately 24 hours prior to application of the test substance, hair was removed with electric clippers from the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit exposing an area of skin approximately 10 cm square.
- Immediately prior to application of the test substance, two areas of skin approximately 2.5 cm square on the right side of the spine were abraded using the tip of a scalpel blade to make minor incisions through the stratum corneum. These were not deep enough to disturb the dermis or cause bleeding. Two similar sites on the left side remained intact.
- The treatment sites were occluded with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for approximately 24 hours. "Elizabethan collars" were placed on each animal in order to prevent the animal from disturbing the test sites. The animals were not restrained during thee exposure period and were returned to their cages.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
At the end of the exposure period the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pads were removed and the treatment sites wiped to remove any residual test substance.

OBERVATIONS AND SCORING
Examination of the treated skin sites was made approximately 30 minutes and 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after removal of the patches.
