F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointments

There are two ointments in the range of F10® treatment products:

  • F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment
  • F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide

Both are a multi-purpose broad spectrum preparation effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores.

The F10® actives are presented in an easily applied preparation containing lanoline emollient which helps to maintain and restore skin viability and assist the ointment to adhere to the skin surface to form an effective antimicrobial barrier.

They are licensed under the Exemption for Small Pet Animals (see below).

F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment

An ideal topical application for treatment, and help prevent (re-)infection, in a number of clinical situations either alone or in conjunction with associated therapies, with a 100% residual action after 5 days.

Available in: 25g tubes and 100g and 500g tubs.

F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide

This combines the properties of the F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with the added insecticidal activity of Cypermethrin (0.25%) and Piperonyl Butoxide (1.25%). It therefore both treats wounds and repels insects.

Available in: 25g tubes and 100g tubs.

Uses for F10® ointments

F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment

Superficial skin lesions, burns and open or contaminated wounds: F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment is effective in both superficial lesions and deep penetrating wounds. Defects can be packed with the Ointment or applied to wounds that are then covered by dressings. Where appropriate, first clean and flush the lesion with F10® Antiseptic Solution, and then apply the Ointment directly.

Packing skin and scale defects: Defects in the body integument can be packed with F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment. The protective and antimicrobial actions assist in the regeneration of normal functional tissue and assist in preventing (re-)infection.

F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide

Post fly-strike: Use to treat the damaged tissue to promote normal healing, and to help prevent re-infestation. Can be used in conjunction with F10® Germicidal Wound Spray with Insecticide. See our fly-strike page for more information on using F10® products as a preventative.

Open wounds: Use in situations where open wounds may be susceptible to fly-strike. Can be used in conjunction with F10® Germicidal Wound Spray with Insecticide.

F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide is pink in colour (see picture above), so it will be noticeable if it has been washed off, or has soaked in to the skin, and should be reapplied at that time to maintain the insecticidal protection.

Warning

As it contains Cypermethrin, F10® Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide should not be used on cats. Do not contaminate waterways as toxic to aquatic life.
