Ointments

Ointments are semi-solid, topical preparations designed to deliver active ingredients to the skin while creating a protective barrier. Whether used to treat minor wounds, prevent infections, or relieve irritation, ointments play a crucial role in daily healthcare routines. Their thick, emollient texture makes them ideal for prolonged skin contact and moisture retention, aiding the healing process and reducing further damage.

Types of Ointments and Their Uses

At Medicinal Supplies, we offer a wide selection of ointments tailored for various medical needs:

Skin Protectants and Moisture Barriers help soothe, hydrate, and shield sensitive or damaged skin from irritation caused by friction or moisture. Commonly used for incontinence care, diaper rash, and bedsores.
Antibacterial Ointments like Bacitracin ointments or Triple Antibiotic are used to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Antifungal Ointments help treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot or yeast-related rashes.

Each formulation is chosen for its reliability, clinical strength, and skin-friendly application in both home and clinical settings.
