What is the proper ratio for iodine and potassuim iodide?

The microbicidal effectiveness of pharmaceutical iodophor preparations comprising an organic substance which reacts with iodine to form a complex thereof, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, iodine bound thereto in complex form, free iodine, and iodide ions, is assured by controlling the ratio of total iodine (complex bound iodine and free iodine) to iodide ions at between 2:1 and 10:1, this ratio being adjusted without chemical oxidizing agents such as iodate ions by anodic oxidation of a solution of the iodophor preparation and iodide ions. The resulting preparation can be free of chemical oxidizing ions such as iodate ions

Why are povidone-iodine complexes better than I2 preparations?

Povidone-iodine decreases the concentration of free I2. This lowers the chances of skin irritation from occurring (allergic reactions to I2 may still occur though). It also delays the absorption through the skin and therefore lower its toxicity as well as reducing the staining of skin and clothing.
