I came across a handy-dandy way to put povidone iodine (Betadine) right where you want it, without the mess of foil-wrapped gauze pads or cotton swabs.

I found small (2 oz.) spray bottles in the sample/travel section at Walmart. I thought it might be handy for hair spray or cologne while traveling, since it only holds the 2 oz allowed by the airlines.

I have been treating an infection on my dog, and had to do it outside, due to runs and drips of the staining iodine. I poured some Betadine in my spray bottle, and spritzed away! The medication went right where I wanted it, I got better coverage/application than trying to swab or wipe it on and drippage was greatly reduced.

Since the bottle has a cap that goes over the spray nozzle, This idea will work fine in my car and large FAKs.
