F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment – F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment is also based on F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant and is effective in dogs, cats and horses against bacteria, fungi and viruses to treat open and contaminated wounds and prevent reinfection.
This product has multiple uses and can be used as a stand-alone treatment for minor injuries, or in the case of reoccurring conditions should be treated in conjunction with a complete treatment plan, including antibiotics, as directed by a veterinarian.
Indications:
An antiseptic preparation effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses to treat open and
contaminated wounds and to prevent re-infestation.
Antimicrobial Action:
The antimicrobial action of the preparation is based upon the proprietary branded F10
compound. The mechanism of action of F10 is derived from those of each component
taken separately, in addition to those due to the additive synergistic action of all
components combined. At the concentrations in the product F10 has been assessed
as giving a > log5 reduction in microbial counts against gram positive and gram
negative bacteria; fungi, yeasts and moulds; enveloped and non-enveloped viruses;
bacterial and fungal spores. The group of keratinophylic fungi is very large, but only
two genera, known as dermatophytes, are known to cause disease ("ringworm") in
animals. The genera involved are Microsporum spp, and Trichophyton spp.
F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment is effective in a contact time of 10 minutes,
however repeated applications every day until the condition clears
is the recommended treatment protocol.
