liquid elastic collodion + benzethonium chloride

**Liquid elastic collodion + benzethonium chloride** is a topical combination product. Collodion is a solution containing nitrocellulose, ether, and alcohol that, when applied, dries to form a flexible, protective film over the skin, commonly used as a liquid bandage or wound sealant[1][3]. "Elastic collodion" indicates a flexible formulation, designed to withstand movement without cracking. **Benzethonium chloride** is a quaternary ammonium compound with antibacterial properties, acting as a topical antiseptic. The combination provides a flexible physical barrier to protect minor wounds or cuts and prevents infection through the antimicrobial activity of benzethonium chloride. Collodion acts by forming an adhesive film (mechanical protection), while benzethonium chloride disrupts microbial cell membranes, reducing risk of infection. The primary indication is topical protection and infection control for minor abrasions, cuts, and post-surgical wound sites[1][3].
