Best Antibiotic Ointment for Wound Care
Antimicrobial ointments kill germs that cause infections. The best of them also support wound healing in other ways: keeping the wound bed appropriately moist, soothing pain, and helping the wound move from one stage of healing to the next.
Consider one of these five antibiotic gels the next time you dress a wound.
- To target bacteria and fungi alike, use Anasept Antimicrobial Skin and Wound Gel.
- It treats pressure ulcers, wounds, and second-degree burns with an isotonic solution.
- Its formula keeps the wound hydrated while absorbing exudate and facilitating autolytic debridement.
- To treat tunneled, slow-healing, or necrotizing wounds, use Medihoney Gel Wound and Burn Dressing.
- Its high osmolarity, low-pH formula debrides necrotic tissue without injuring the wound bed, speeding healing.
- It’s designed to direct Active Leptospermum Honey, a powerful antimicrobial (strong enough to kill MRSA), exactly where it’s needed in the wound.
- To halt bacterial growth at graft sites or diabetic ulcers, use Silver-Sept Silver Antimicrobial Skin and Wound Gel.
- Its long-lasting formula kills microbes and cleans the wound bed for up to three days after application.
- It effectively targets a wide range of pathogens, including Staph, E.coli, antibiotic-resistant MRSA, and the fungi causing aspergillosis and yeast infections.
- To moisturize wounds while cleansing, use PRONTOSAN Wound Gel X.
- It creates an antimicrobial barrier, preventing biofilms from forming.
- Its high viscosity formula soothes thermal, chemical, and radiation burns.
- To treat large surface area wounds, use Revyve Antimicrobial Wound Gel (Rx Required)
- Its prescription-strength antimicrobial formula effectively combats gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi.
- It liquifies when cooled to 60°F, making it easy to rinse off as needed—ideal for treating sensitive burns.
