Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The hair was removed from the lateral skin over an area of about 8 x 8 cm on both sides of the trunks of 6 rabbits with an average weight of 2.3 kg using electric clippers 24 hours before the beginning of the study. The skin on the right flank was also abraded by means of a scarifier at the site where the test patch was to be applied. Patches (2.5 x 2.5 cm) of double layers of surgical gauze were coated/impregnated with 500 mg of the test substance made into a paste with water and covered with indifferent impermeable PVC film (5 x 5 cm). The film with the patch underneath was attached to the two test sites by means of adhesive tape (Leukoflex R ) that does not irritate the skin. The whole trunk of the animals was then bandaged with an elastic fixed bandage (Elastoflex R ) for the duration of the exposure period of 24 h. The animals were restrained.Findings were reported immediately (about 30 min) after the removal of the patches (24-h value) and then 48 h and 72 h after the beginning of the study (48 h after the first reading).
