RSDL

RSDL - Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion

  • KBDO (Potassium 2,3-butanedione monoximate)
  • DAM (2,3-butanedione monoxime)

RSDL® is the only FDA-cleared, CE Class IIa marked medical device designed to remove or neutralise chemical warfare agents and T-2 toxin from the skin. Additionally, it is the only CE Class IIa marked device effective against organophosphate chemicals.

The foam sponge achieves decontamination by a combination of physical removal from the skin and chemical neutralization of each chemical agent through interaction of the KBDO with the CWA within the pores of the sponge.

  • Dual MOA - Removes or neutralizes CWAs from the skin
  • Rapid neutralization within 2 minutes
  • Compact and portable
  • Single use, tear-open packet with pre-soaked sponge
  • 5 year shelf life from the date of manufacture
  • The RSDL® packaging has been tested in accordance with U.S. military standard MIL-STD-810, ensuring proven resistance to harsh operational environments

Many chemical agents penetrate human skin within seconds to minutes, initiating rapid systemic absorption. Decontamination is a medical countermeasure aimed at reducing the internal uptake of harmful substances following external exposure.

  • ~35 Years of operational experience in active war zones and emergency situations
  • +30 Countries with RSDL® included in emergency stockpiles
  • +20 Armed forces using RSDL® around the world
