Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
other: 50% aqueous solutionof polyethylene glycol
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg per animal
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
72 hours. As no findings were observed, the experiment was discontinued.
Number of animals:
2 males and 2 females
Details on study design:
Twenty-four hours prior to the dermal application, the backs of the rabbits were shaved over an area consisting of at least 10% of the total body surface. One test site close to the mid-line of the back was used on each rabbit.
2.5 g of the test compound was mixed with 4 ml of a 50% aqueous solutionof polyethylene glycol to give a suspension of 5 ml, 1.0 ml of which was applied to the test site on a 6 cm square gauze pad. This was covered with aluminium foil secured with "Transpore" surgical tape. The test site was then covered by a 6" wide 'Coban' self adhesive bandage in order to retain the test substance in close contact with the skin. After 4 hours the dressing was removed and the compound residue rinsed from the application site using lukewainn water. Sites were assessed for oedema and erythema 30 - 60 minutes after removal of the occlusive dressing. Further assessments were made at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
