Randomized study of six umbilical cord care regimens . Comparing length of attachment , microbial control , and satisfaction . Two hundred and seventy one infants were enrolled in a study to compare six different methods of treating the umbilical cord . Antimicrobial control was equal for all methods . Repeated triple dye application was considered least acceptable by staff and parents and had the longest attachment time . Povidone-iodine was associated with the shortest attachment time and was most liked . If there is no special need to treat a specific nosocomial outbreak , duration of cord attachment and satisfaction of staff and parents can help clinicians decide on a cord care regimen .
