Main attributes of the BurnAid 10cm X 10cm burn dressing

The Burnaid Dressing allows for easy transport to medical attention, as the gel stays ‘in-situ’ on the skin far better than chilled-water irrigated dressings.

The Dressing has many other practical benefits - especially where clean cold water is not readily available.

From the patient’s perspective, they are afforded almost immediate pain relief from the cooling gel and the anesthetic properties of the Melaleuca Oil.

From a management perspective, Burnaid Dressings provide an effective and simple way of relieving pain and treating burns. The dressing is placed on the burn and stays in-situ for up to two hours. There is no requirement to keep irrigating the burn, nor is there any ‘run-off’. Furthermore, the need to administer narcotics for pain relief can be greatly reduced. The Dressing doesn’t disguise the extent of the burn. When the burn needs to be further examined, the non-adherent dressing simply lifts off and any residual gel rinsed off.

Package contains one piece of 10cm X 10cm dressing impregnated and covered with Burn Gel.
