WATER-JEL Burn Dressing 10 x 10 cm, Sterile

WATER-JEL Burn Dressing 10 x 10 cm, Sterile

WATER-JEL Burn Dressing consists of a medical grade non-woven dressing infused with Water-Jel® gel. Will not stick to the wound.

Water-Jel^® gel-soaked sterile burn dressings stop burn progression, cool the skin, ease pain, and protect against airborne contamination.

When a burn occurs, seconds count! Burn injuries should be cooled immediately, otherwise the heat will continue to destroy the surrounding and underlying tissue, and may progress a partial thickness (second degree) burn into a full thickness (third degree) burn injury. This, in turn, will present serious consequences for the patient and considerable extra cost for the receiving hospital/burn unit.

Water-Jel Burn Dressings are a gelatinized water mix designed to perform the four critical steps for burn management in one application. Because of their gelatinous nature, they seal the burn from further contamination, cool the burn site, and relieve pain by heat transfer into themselves. The fluids on the burn site cannot soak into the dressing nor can they evaporate through them. Finally, as the burn site cools down, the dressing warms up, leaving the site covered by a warm dressing, helping to prevent hypothermia.
