ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
according to guideline

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.5 mL liquid test item
- Concentration: undiluted liquid test substance

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
1, 24, 48, and 72 h after patch removal
Number of animals:
2 females and 1 male
Details on study design:
Four days and one day before treatment, the left flank was clipped with an electric clipper (no skin injury detected).
0.5 mL of Biofert Plusz placed on gauze patch (ca. 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm); gauze patch applied to the intact skin of the clipped area and patch covered with a semi-occlusive dressing; dressing wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with tape.
After 4 h exposure the dressing was removed and the skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water.
Scoring system according to Guideline.
Body Weights: At start of acclimatization, on the day of application and at termination of observation.
Clinical Signs: Daily from acclimatization of the animals to the termination of test.
