Burnshield facilitates removal of burnt clothing. BURNSHIELD can be used as an emergency care for superficial to full thickness burns. Any burn, whether received from open flames, scalding from hot water, steam, gas, chemicals or electrical appliances can be treated immediately with Burnshield.
Professional medical attention must be received as soon as possible, as BURNSHIELD will only provide primary care.
When Burnshield will applied to burn wounds – preferably as soon as possible after the burn – has the tremendous ability to absorb and dissipate heat, providing relief, minimizing shock and skin damage, halting the burn process, and physically protects against further contamination. Burn Shield’s cooling and soothing effect results from its specially formulated Hydrogel, which is non-toxic and non-irritant.
The active ingredient is Melaleuca alternifolia. The sterile dressing keeps the wound clean while the loss of body fluids is kept to a minimum.
Sterile:
Burnshield products have been sterilized by Gamma Irradiation and are guaranteed sterile until opened.
Gel:
Each dressing is saturated with the sterile water-based gel. The non-adhesive moist gel impedes bonding of the dressing to the wound and thereby facilitates easy removal of the dressing for medical attention to be received. To remove the gel – rinse the area lightly with cold water.
Wound protection:
By simply placing the dressing over the burnt area, Burnshield dressings provide essential physical protection against further tissue damage. They instantly shield and protect the wound and are ideal for primary use on all kinds of burns and scalds – including chemical burns -, which require special treatment as, mentioned later, Burnshield offers maximum relief and offers the medical supplies.
Foam:
Burnshield dressings are made up of a special, soft elastic poly foam sheet non-toxic, having no fibers to contaminate a wound. This no residue foam retains the gel, and when covering a burn it is sufficiently elastic to accommodate the possibility of swelling and flexing of joints.
Wool:
The blanket is wool woven into a specially designed inter-linking cellular structure, using pure new wool with the technical assistance of the C.S.I.R. and the Wool Board to be medical supplies.
