Description

Maximum-Strength Anesthetic Ointment for Dermatologic and Aesthetic Procedures

Product Overview

The Lidocaine 23% / Tetracaine 7% Topical Ointment is a powerful compounded anesthetic developed to provide superior pain control for dermatologic, cosmetic, and minor medical procedures. Unlike standard numbing creams, this ointment offers higher concentrations of two potent local anesthetics—Lidocaine and Tetracaine—in a thick, emollient base that enhances skin contact, retention, and absorption. This formulation is ideal for procedures involving moderate to intense discomfort, particularly on dry, thick, or keratinized skin.

Packaged in a 30-gram jar, this product is a staple in professional clinical settings, offering a dependable anesthetic solution for both small and large-area applications.

Pain Management Use:

Mechanism of Action

Lidocaine and Tetracaine are amide-type local anesthetics that function by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal membranes. This action prevents depolarization and transmission of nerve signals, leading to reversible numbness and loss of sensation.

• Onset: Begins within 15–30 minutes

• Peak Effect: 30–45 minutes post-application

• Duration: Typically 60–90 minutes depending on application area and occlusion

Application Instructions

1. Clean the Area
   Gently cleanse the skin to remove oils, dirt, or residues that may interfere with absorption.

2. Apply Generously
   Using a spatula or gloved hand, apply a thick, uniform layer of ointment to the desired treatment area. Do not rub in.

3. Occlude for Best Results
   Cover with an occlusive film or plastic wrap to enhance penetration and speed up the onset.

4. Wait the Recommended Time
   Allow at least 20–30 minutes for full anesthetic effect. Up to 45–60 minutes for maximum depth in high-sensitivity procedures.

5. Remove Residue
   Wipe off the ointment completely using gauze or alcohol swab before starting the procedure.

Advantages of the Ointment Base

• Extended Contact
  The ointment remains in place longer than gels or creams, especially on curved or irregular surfaces.

• Ideal for Thick or Dry Skin
  Better suited for elbows, knees, feet, or heavily keratinized areas.

• Reduced Drying or Crusting
  Does not evaporate as quickly as water- or alcohol-based gels.

• Better Skin Barrier Support
  Contains emollients that soothe and protect skin after numbing.
