Patent ID: 8206696

Claim:
An antimicrobial skin composition having a viscosity in solution of between about 100 to 1,000 cps at 25° C. measured with a Brookfield viscometer, model LVF, using spindle 2 at 30 rpm, consisting of: povidone-iodine; 60-95% by volume alcohol; one or more pH sensitive methacrylic polymers, in an amount sufficient to build the viscosity of the composition in solution to between about 100 to 1,000 cps at 25° C. measured with a Brookfield viscometer, model LVF, using spindle 2 at 30 rpm, wherein at least one of the pH sensitive methacrylic polymers is acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer; aminomethyl propanol; phosphoric acid; and water.
