8" x 8" Cool Blaze Sterile Hydrogel Burn Dressings are designed for first aid use on all types of burn injuries. The dressings are constructed of a special, soft, open-cell foam saturated with a hydrogel solution with aloe and are individually wrapped in a Mylar package.
Efficiently covers the burned area and yet elastic enough to accommodate possible swelling or the need to flex joints.
They are light, easily transportable sterile dressings.
A single application of this dressing is an effective first-aid measure on burns.
The dressings have a foam carrier and the foam's high absorption capabilities allow complete delivery of the hydro gel to the burn site.
Hydrogel dressings are non-adherent and the inert foam base will not shed threads, strands, fibers, etc., that might become embedded in the wound.
The moist hydrogel solution facilitates easy removal for inspection and treatment of the injured area. The gel leaves no residue. It can easily be removed with water during normal debridement. Hydrogel is completely water soluble.
Using Hydrogel Sterile Burn Dressings
When medical assistance is not immediately available, usingl the hydrogel burn dressings, along with a gauze covering for further protection, helps the burn area to remain moist for many hours. Utilizing this system also provides physical protection to the burn against further damage and contamination.
The smaller Hydrogel dressings are ideal for hands and fingers. The larger dressings are large enough to receive and treat a foot, arm, or leg.
Hydrogel dressings can be used in the following way: Remove the dressing from the package and apply directly to the wound. Secure lightly.
