Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped with electrical clipper
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g moistened with water ad injectionem
VEHICLE
- Aqua ad injectionem
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 hours after patch removal
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
Approximately 0.5g of the test substance was applied under a 2-ply 25mm x 25mm gauze pad, which had been moistened with 0.5ml distilled water, to one intact skin on each animal.
Each treatment site was covered with “Eletroplast” elastic adhesive dressing for four hours. The animals were not restrained during the exposure period and were returned to their cages immediately after treatment.
At the end of the exposure period, the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the treatment site was washed with warm water (36°C) to remove any residual test substance. The treated area was blotted dry with absorbent paper.
