Betadine Antiseptic First Aid Cream

Betadine Antiseptic First Aid Cream is recommended for the treatment of minor skin infections, as well as preventing infection in minor burns, cuts, and abrasions. The cream-based formulation can easily be applied and removed. Betadine Antiseptic is essentially non-irritating to the skin and will not permanently stain skin or natural fabrics.

Features:

• Antiseptic
• Treats minor wounds and infections
• Cream-based Formula
• Non-irritating

Directions:

1. Wash the wound with clean running water.
2. Clean with disposable sterile swabs.
3. Using sterile gauze, dry the wound first, then the surrounding skin.
4. When the wound has stopped bleeding, apply the appropriate Betadine product to the wound and surrounding area.
5. Cover the wound with an appropriately sized dressing if friction with clothing or further injury is likely.
6. Secure the dressing with a conforming cotton bandage, fastened with a safety pin or adhesive tape.

Treatment of Minor Cuts and Scratches

Wash with clean running water. Clean with disposable sterile swabs. Carefully dry with sterile gauze, starting with the wound and then working outward to the surrounding skin. When bleeding stops, apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid. Cover with a non-stick sterile dressing. You should see a doctor if the wound begins throbbing or turns red.

Treatment for Grazes and Gravel Rash

Gently remove foreign matter. Wash the affected area with clean running water. Clean with disposable sterile swabs. Carefully dry with sterile gauze, starting with the wound and then working outward to the surrounding skin. When bleeding stops, apply Betadine First Aid Cream. If necessary, cover with a non-stick sterile dressing, then apply a conforming cotton bandage.

Treatment of Serious Cuts and Wounds

Control bleeding by applying and maintaining pressure with a bulky sterile dressing. Raise the injured area if possible. Seek medical attention promptly, bearing in mind that tetanus immunization may be required.

Treating Minor Burns and Scalds

Cool immediately in cold water for 10–20 minutes. If red or blistered, cover with a non-stick sterile dressing and consult a doctor.

Treating Blistered or Deeper Burns

Immediate cooling (do not over-cool). Do not clean. Do not remove charred clothing. Cover with a non-stick sterile dressing. Refer to a doctor or hospital immediately.

Treatment of Weeping Wounds

Clean with sterile gauze and sterile saline. Apply Betadine Antiseptic Ointment and cover with a non-stick sterile dressing. Then apply a conforming cotton bandage. You should see a doctor if the wound starts throbbing, turns red, or if the fluid weeping from the wound is yellow (like pus) or green.

Treatment of Minor Fungal Infections

First, clean and dry minor fungal infections (like tinea and ringworm) thoroughly. Then apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid or Ointment 2–3 times daily. If the problem persists, consult a doctor.

Treatment of Blisters

Protect from infection and injury. Apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid and cover with a non-stick sterile dressing if the blister is large, or an adhesive dressing strip if small.
