Abstract
Abstract A topical ointment composition is provided which includes a mixture of non-systemic bases comprising calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminum hydroxide. The composition also includes an anhydrous lanolin base carrier material and a hydrophilic ointment base carrier material, and the ointment composition is effective to essentially adjust the acid-base balance at the area of topical application to a point which corresponds with normal healthy body tissue. The composition may further include a compound having pharmaceutically acceptable anesthetic properties. In addition to the topical ointment composition, a method is provided for treating skin injuries involving inflammation or destruction of tissue, such as decubitus ulcers, varicose ulcers and burns, which method involves preparing the above noted composition and applying it to the affected area.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A topical ointment composition consisting essentially of an admixture of: a. a mixture of non-systemic bases consisting of from about 7 to about 82 weight percent calcium carbonate, from about 5 to about 77 weight percent magnesium hydroxide and from about 6 to about 80 weight percent aluminum hydroxide, with the proviso that the percentages of said components in said mixture total 100% thereof; and b. a mixture of carrier materials consisting essentially of anhydrous lanolin and hydrophilic ointment said carrier materials being present in said carrier mixture in a weight ratio of approximately 2:1 to 1:2; said ointment containing a weight ratio of said mixture of 1:21 to 1 to 213, effective to promote growth of normal healthy body tissues.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
