The antiseptic mixture includes a persulfate distributed in a matrix of a sulfate wherein the antiseptic composition is characterized by a ratio of the sulfate to the persulfate of at least 8:2. The antiseptic polymer is formed by the reaction of a sulfate, a persulfate, and amino acid in a reaction solution having a ratio of the sulfate to the persulfate of at least 6:4 and a ratio of the amino acid to the sulfate and the persulfate combined of 1:2 to 2:1. An antiseptic irrigation solution is disclosed including the antiseptic composition dispersed in a solvent. An antiseptic article is disclosed including an article and at least one of the antiseptic composition or an antiseptic coating formed from the antiseptic composition disposed on a surface of the article.
