Abstract
A solid iodophor configured as a reuseable non-cellulose antimicrobial wipe is disclosed herein. The antimicrobial wipe may be used to disinfect organic material on the surface of the skin or on other articles. The antimicrobial wipe may be rinsed with water and re-used multiple times while retaining an iodophor composition to release small microbicidal amounts of iodine with each use. The reusable wipe turns color from black to tan or white to indicate the need to replace the wipe or process with additional iodine to replenish the iodophor.
