Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: test substance was applied on the dorso-lumbar region under a 25 mm x 25 mm gauze pad moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water.
- % coverage: not specified.
- Type of wrap if used: Elastoplast elastic adhesive dressing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
