Can I leave some Betadine solution on my hands after completing disinfection before surgery,without washing it

Answer 1

I think you're referring to the solution at the sink outside the surgical suite, am I correct? The cleansing solution should be thoroughly rinsed from the hands before the hands are dried with the sterile towel before gloving.

I have a question for you: Why are you asking this???

Answer 2

The betadine solution is very sticky. It is important to leave the betadine on until it is all dry. BACTERIA DIE BY DRYING NOT DROWNING. And then wash it off and let dry.
