Burnshield SJA75318 Premium Sterile Emergency Burn Dressing ,White,4"x4" (10cm x 10cm)"Cools The Burn"

I scalded my hand removing sth from the microwave. I knew straight away it was quite a nasty scald, so I ran it under the cold tap. Then I rememberedwe had this gel pack.I stopped the tap, and tore the top off the pack. Inside there is a bandage impregnated with gel. If I'd hurt an arm or a leg I'd have taken the bandage out, but as I'd hurt my fingers I just put my hand in the bag.It was now about 5 mins since the scald happened, and my fingers were just starting to hurt. But the pain stopped as soon as I put them in the gel. It was extremely cool and soothing.Also, when you're stuck by a tap you can't do much, and it's tempting to stop and hope the burn will be ok. But with my hand in the bag I could leave it there and do other stuff, so I kept it on for about 20 minutes.I was amazed when I took my hand out. The pain had stopped, and I had no visible burn and no blister, then or later. The scald was quite a bad one, so I was very impressed. It happened at work, so I immediately ordered some of these bags for my own kitchen.

I burnt my arm with oil splashes from cooking I put this on running my arm in cold water first.It gives instant relief while you have it on you can't feel your skin in any pain.I changed it once and within 24 hours My skin feels better.I put a bandage over it as it's very moist and to keep it in place throughout the day.

Arrived in good condition, I think it's a good product. I have use this before so it is a replacement.

Seriously all buy one for you homes - this is the cure for even bad burns .. boiling hot oil on my sons hand and 5 days with a one on swaped twice a day had meant the damage is incredibly reducedThis is a no brainer all get one !!!

These packs, each containing a single square of hydrocolloid type dressing measuring about 4" x 4" are ideal for dressing burns or scalds. Best way to treat a scald or burn is to immediately run the area under cold, running water for ten minutes, or apply a pack of frozen peas over a wet cloth to the burn for ten minutes. Getting the area thoroughly cooled as soon as possible is essential. Then dry the area gently and apply the dressing. This dressing is quite wet and gunky, but it will sit nicely over the burn. If it folds up, or crumples, it's easy to straighten out. Over that, put some gauze, and secure with a bandage. As it's a very wet dressing, it will probably leak or drip through the gauze or bandage. If it does, and it's a nuisance, wrap some cling film round the bandage to stop the drips.These are nice, easy to use dressings for home use on typical minor household burns and scalds, and do give some relief.Get a few packs in before you need them. The burnshield spray is a very useful piece of kit as well.

For a scald on my arm as I knock a kettle of boiling water over my arm luckily my daughter had a first aid box with these in her box

OK

This is a fantastic product!Place the burn under cool running water then...Ensure you get all the gel out of the Burnshield packet and onto your burn. Place the square over the burn, and it will absorb the heat. Once that side has warmed up turn it over and it continues to cool and absorb the heat out of the burn. Continue flipping this square as the burn starts to warm the gel and the opposite side air cools.I first came across this product on a Virgin Trains, where their staff have them for the rare occasions that tea and coffee spillages happen whilst travelling at 125mph.Any product by Burnshield I would buy.I keep my burnshields in the fridge where they are cool and the whole family know where they are. And the most likely area where a burn might occur.We have most of the sizes “just in case”.
