Because of concerns that exposure to povidone-iodine (Betadine) may lead to early breast implant failure, the Food and Drug Administration announced in 2000 that any contact between implants and Betadine is contraindicated. The evidence cited by the Food and Drug Administration primarily referred to Betadine added to saline implant filler solution and not to povidone-iodine used for pocket irrigation.
