Gentell A & D Ointment

Gentell A & D Ointment is a skin protectant formulated to shield vulnerable skin from moisture, friction, and irritants. Enriched with vitamins A and D, it creates a protective barrier that supports the skin's natural healing while guarding against the everyday exposures that lead to breakdown — a staple in wound care carts, long-term care facilities, and home caregiving routines alike.

Caregivers reach for A & D ointment most often for incontinence-associated dermatitis, minor chafing, cracked or dry patches, and the daily protection of skin around ostomy sites and other high-friction areas. The ointment's occlusive layer helps lock in moisture and keep out the wetness that irritates fragile skin, making it a practical first line of defense for patients confined to beds or wheelchairs. It's equally at home for minor scrapes, diaper rash, and dry, weathered hands.

Application is straightforward: clean and gently dry the area, then apply a thin layer as often as needed, particularly after each cleansing or incontinence episode. Because A & D formulas are petrolatum- and lanolin-based, a little goes a long way, and the smooth texture spreads easily over tender skin without excessive rubbing. Gentell manufactures its skin and wound care products with facility-grade consistency, so you get dependable coverage whether you're stocking a nursing station or a single medicine cabinet.
