Burnshield hydrogel burn dressings provide professional-grade cooling treatment for thermal injuries using active hydrogel technology. The dressings cool the burn on contact and continue providing thermal regulation for up to 4 hours. The non-adherent gel surface does not stick to the wound, enabling pain-free removal during clinical handover to paramedics or hospital staff.
Compliance Summary: Burnshield dressings are medical devices providing active hydrogel burn cooling. Used by emergency services worldwide for pre-hospital burn management. Stock alongside standard first aid provision in workplaces with thermal hazards.
How long do Burnshield dressings continue cooling?
Burnshield hydrogel provides active cooling for up to 4 hours after application. This sustained cooling is critical for managing burns during the period between injury and hospital treatment, particularly in remote locations or during extended emergency service response times.
Can I use Burnshield on chemical burns?
Burnshield dressings are designed for thermal burns. Chemical burns require specific decontamination - remove contaminated clothing and flush with copious running water for at least 20 minutes before applying any dressing. Consult the chemical safety data sheet for substance-specific first aid instructions.
