An antiseptic preparation effective against bacteria, fungi & viruses that can be used to treat infections on intact and abraded skin as well as in open wounds. It also acts as a barrier to infection.
It is safe for use on any species of animal of any age.
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, know as dermatophytes, are known to cause disease ("ringworm") in animals. The genera involved are Microsporum spp, and Trichophyton spp. At the concentration in the product F10 GERMICIAL BARRIER OINTMENT it was found to be effective in a contact time of 10 minutes however repeated applications re-applied every day until the condition clears is the recommended treatment protocol.
