Burnshield Emergency Burncare is a foam dressing soaked in sterile trauma hydrogel, supplied in a foil pouch. It can be used for minor burns and scalds. The dressing cools and soothes by absorbing and dissipating heat, which minimises skin damage. The clear gel makes it easy to assess the wound, and it is non-stick, preventing it from adhering to the wound. Burnshield hydrogel is a natural anti-bacterial, reducing the risk of infection. It is also non-toxic and non-irritant, making it safe to use on children. The dressing conforms to the wound area and features a fibreless, elastic open-cell foam sheeting for effective wound covering and gel retention.
