[Modeling of cutaneous radio-contamination: effects of washings by soap and by solutions of DTPA].
Some neutral chirurgical soap, a solution of diethylen penta acetic acid (DTPA) at 1% and a solution at 25% of monocalcic trisodium salt of DTPA in serum have been studied on models of cutaneous contamination. Cesium 137 (137Cs) and Plutonium 239 (239Pu) have been used for the contamination. This research gives a protocol for external cutaneous decontamination which could be used in reception units for radiocontaminated wounded. Even the radioelement is unknown, DTPA at 25% represents a good solution for the treatment of general contamination, which is not the case for DTPA at 1%. A soap in which DTPA at 1% has been added is adapted for large cutaneous contamination. The treatment of ocular contamination is also studied in this article.
