no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5mL undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
72h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
The hair was clipped from the dorsal area of the trunk of each rabbit approx. 24 hoursbefore treatment. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin.
The test material (0.5mL) was applied to the intact skin on each rabbit under a 2.5cm x 2.5 cm patch gauze. The patch was then covered with micropore tape and the trunk was loosely bound with Elastoplast Elastic Bandage which remained in position for 4 hrs. At the end of this period the patches were removed and the skin wiped with water dampened tissues to remove surplus test material without altering the existing response or integrity of the epidermis.
Skin reactions were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72hrs after patch removal.
