    Post Appropriate antibiotic for burn wounds

    Hi, I am new here and I am not Pharmacist so please forgive me if I am posting at the wrong place and advise the best place to post it.

    I am supposed to receive a paraffin dressing bandage machine from a contractor. This machine produce the dressing for wound treatment. I'll use Vaseline and an antibiotic mixed together then the machine will saturate a cotton gauze with that mixture for the application on the wound. The Vaseline is to be melted at 80 centigrade to facilitate the mixing with the antibiotic and then to start the saturation process of the cotton gauze.
    My question is, what is the recommended antibiotic for this case, what is the mixing ratio, and what is the mixing procedure.
    I've been advised to use Fusidic Acid with a ratio of 0.2% (2 grams of Fusidic acid mixed with 1000 grams of Vaseline). Is the Fusicid Acid and the mixing ratio good for the above intent of use.
    Perhaps someone could post me the standard for this product.
    Thanks.

    Why not just use Fucidin Tulle, or has it been discontinued? Where do you expect to get Fucidin powder from? Where are you.?
