Test system

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Preparation of test site:

other: intact and abraded

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

The test substance was administered once per site and remained in contact with the skin for 24 hours.

Observation period:

The skin was examined and graded for dermal reaction following and 72 hours after patch removal.

Number of animals:

Six rabbits

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
-One side of the animals’ backs was abraded at one site with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum but not enter the derma to produce bleeding. The skin of the other side was allowed to remain intact.
-0.5 mL of test material was applied to an abraded and an intact skin site on the same rabbit. Gauze patches were then placed over the treated and an impervious material was wrapped around the trunks of the animals to hold the patches in place.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Dermal Irritation was graded in accordance with the Draize method of scoring.

Conclusions:

Primary Irritation Score = 3.34/4 = 0.84

Executive summary:

The primary dermal irritation potential of the test material was evaluated in this study with albino rabbits. A single 0.5 mL dose of the test material was applied to an abraded and an intact site on each animal's back. All doses were wrapped with an impervious material dressing for a 24 hour exposure period. At completion of exposure the bandages were removed, and application sites were evaluated in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 24 and 72 h following patch removal.

The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.84 for sites treated with the test material.
