Preparation of test site:
other: one half shaved and the other additionally abraded
Vehicle:
other: polyethylene glycol 400
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g, moistened with 1.2 mL polyethylene glycol 400

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 1.2 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period:
72 h
Reading time points: 24, 48 and 72 h
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm on the shaved flank
- Type of wrap if used: the moistened test material was applied to 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose pads from Hansamed, the pads were fixed to the prepared application site and covered with an indifferent, impermeable polyethylene film (6-8 cm width). Subsequently, the whole trunk of the animals was wrapped with an elastic polyurethan warp bandage (permanent bandage K, Lohmann) and left in place for 24 hours.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No erythema was observed in abraded skin. Edema of grade 1 was observed in 4/6 animals in abraded skin after 24 hours which was fully reversible after 48 hours. After 24-h exposure to intact skin, animals #2 and #3 showed a mean edema score of 0.33 after 24, 48 and 72 h.
Other effects:
No further local and systemic effects were observed.
