Abstract
Abstract Iodophor powders are prepared by suspending a particulate iodophor-forming polymer in an iodine solution in which the polymer is insoluble, and adding to the suspension a solution of an iodide in a solvent system miscible with the solvent of the iodine solution, to cause the formation of an iodophor. The iodophor can be separated from the solvent by filtration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
Method of producing an iodophor powder, which comprises adding to a suspension of a powdered iodophor-forming compound in a solution of iodine dissolved in a solvent in which said iodophor-forming compound is insoluble an iodide dissolved in a solvent system miscible with said solvent for said iodine, thus causing iodine to add to said iodophor-forming compound to form the corresponding iodophor in solid form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
Method of producing an iodophor powder, which comprises adding to a suspension of a powdered iodophor-forming compound in a solution of iodine dissolved in a solvent in which said iodophor-forming compound is insoluble an iodide dissolved in a solvent system miscible with said solvent for said iodine, thus causing iodine to add to said iodophor-forming compound to form the corresponding iodophor in solid form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein said iodide solution is added until the iodine solution is colorless, thus causing all of the iodine to be bound by said iodophor-forming compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein said iodophor-forming compound is polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
Method according to claim 2 wherein said iodophor-forming compound is polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claim 3 wherein said solvent for said iodine is a saturated alkane or a halogenated alkane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
Method according to claim 5 wherein said solvent system is water and a solvent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic alcohols and aliphatics ketones.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
Method according to claim 6 wherein the amount of water is less than the amount of said solvent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein said iodide is selected from the group consisting of hydroiodic acid, ammonium iodide, lithium iodide, sodium iodide and potassium iodide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the amount of iodine in relation to the amount of said iodophor-forming compound in such that the resulting iodophor contains 1-25% of available iodine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
18 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein said iodophor-forming compound is a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone and dextran or dextranomer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
Method according to claim 10 wherein the ratio of the polyvinylpyrrolidone to dextran or dextranomer is up to a ratio of 3:5 in the case of 10% of available iodine.
