Product Description
Germidine Antiseptic Ointment is a water-soluble iodophor ointment that releases free iodine on contact with skin to provide sustained antiseptic activity. Indicated for prevention and treatment of infection in minor cuts, abrasions, burns, skin ulcers, and as preoperative skin preparation. The non-staining, non-irritating formula creates a protective barrier while allowing exudate drainage, making it ideal for moist wound environments. Effective against a wide range of pathogens including MRSA and Candida, with minimal resistance development. Suitable for repeated application on intact or damaged skin. Benefits • Broad-spectrum kill – effective against bacteria (Gram+ and Gram-), fungi, viruses, and protozoa • Rapid onset with prolonged antimicrobial activity (up to 6–8 hours) • Non-staining and easy to wash off compared to tincture iodine • Promotes healing by maintaining moist environment • Low irritation – suitable for sensitive skin and repeated use • Versatile for first-aid, minor burns, ulcers, and pre-surgical prep How to Use • Clean and dry affected area • Apply a thin layer of ointment directly to wound or skin 1–3 times daily • Cover with sterile dressing if needed (e.g., for weeping wounds) • For burns: apply liberally and cover loosely • For pre-op prep: apply to skin and leave for 2 minutes before wiping • Wash hands after application • Do not use on large open wounds, deep puncture wounds, or for longer than 7–10 days without medical advice • Avoid eyes, ears, and mucous membranes • Discontinue if redness, swelling, or irritation occurs
