Safe and Sound Health’s Burn Gel Dressing Kit immediately works to cool and relieve pain from 1st and 2nd-degree burns. The emergency kit contains one hydrogel-soaked burn dressing and a bandage with safety pins for securing the dressing.
Water is traditionally used for cooling a burn or scald, but this method requires the patient to stay near the source of water, and depending on the location of the burn or scald, it can be challenging to apply. Hydrogel soaked dressings provide the same cooling effects as water. Because the gel is thick and the dressing is soaked in the gel, it stays on the burn and doesn’t evaporate. The hydrogel burn dressing instantly removes heat from a burn or scald, dissipating the heat and preventing the burn from progressing deeper into the skin tissue.
The hydrogel burn dressing provides instantly relieves pain following a burn or scald, quickly cooling the skin and creating a barrier between the wound and airborne contamination.
