Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm²
- Type of wrap if used: The test item was applied first to a gauze patch at a single dose. The patch was then applied to the skin on a small area on the left side of the dorsal area. The gauze was held in place with non-irritating tape. The untreated right side served as control. The patch was fixed with a semi-occlusive dressing.
