Wondering if anyone has any information on the specific directions for combining Santyl and gentamicin ointment. I have heard of this being done but I am unsure the correct procedure.

Thanks

Doesn't your pharmacy compound it? In LTC, our contracted pharmacy service compounded all the mixed creams & solutions, etc

WOW!, it has been years since I have see this! We used Polysporin and Santyl.

Google it and you will find a bunch of links. Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment | The Continuous, Active Micro-debrider

After cleaning the wound, we would sprinkle the powder and apply the santyl.
