Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): about 0.5ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour
Observation period:
9 days
Number of animals:
3 (1male, 2 females)
Details on study design:
Application area: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
Application site: Upper third of the back or flank
Removal of the test substance at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1 : 1).
Readings: 30 - 60 minutes after removal of the test patches and 24 h, 48 h, and 9 d after the beginning of application.
Assessment according to Draize
Additional examinations: After sacrifice all animals are examined by gross pathology. If there are clinical signs of necroses, these are confirmed by gross-pathological examination after incision of the skin.
