Lantiseptic® Skin Protectant is an emollient ointment intended to protect the skin, promote the healing of skin injuries, and serve as a first aid treatment. It is formulated to encourage the proper moisture balance of the skin, thereby supporting the body's natural healing processes. Lantiseptic® contains 50% lanolin, which, with beeswax and petrolatum, produces a fine emulsion of outstanding tenacity.

• Pressure Sores (I, II)-Excellent results with Lantiseptic® in the care of pressure sores have led to its introduction for general use in nursing homes. The manner of use must be adapted to the needs of the individual patient and must be in accordance with the procedures of the home. The moisturizing, emollient nature of the ointment maintains a superior environment for the healing process.
  
  
• Incontinence and Fistulas-Lantiseptic® is an effective skin protectant where urine, feces or intestinal contents irritate the skin. It should be applied to clean dry skin in sufficient quantities to act as a barrier. Its emollient action will help protect the skin and speed healing.
  
  
• Burns and Other Skin injuries-Lantiseptic® is not intended as a primary burn therapy but its protectant and emollient actions make it a useful adjunct in the treatment of burns and other skin injuries.
  
  
• Reddened or Cracked Skin-The soothing, moisturizing and protective properties of Lantiseptic® make it well suited to the care of reddened or cracked skin. Specific applications should be adapted to the nature of the injury. Reddened skin will often clear overnight.
