When to Use Burnshield Hydrogel Spray
This first aid burn spray is suitable for all burns or scalds, whether minor or severe. It can be used to treat superficial and partial-thickness burns, sunburn, difficult to get-to areas, and rehydration of dressings. Burn injuries are time-critical, so it is essential to cool a burn wound down as soon as it is safe, always within the first 24 hours of the initial injury.
Burnshield Hydrogel spray is designed for immediate use on a burnt area, reducing infection risk and further heat damage to burnt skin and tissue. When a patient suffers any burn or scald, swift treatment and applying Burnshield Hydrogel spray will aid healing and reduce pain symptoms by dissipating heat and protecting the wound.
This burn relief spray can also be sprayed over a burn dressing to moisten and hydrate a burn wound for 48 hours after initial treatment. The hydrogel’s naturally cooling effects are also suitable to treat minor burns such as sunburn.
How to Use Burnshield Hydrogel Spray
When treating a burn wound with a Burnshield Hydrogel spray, these are simple steps to follow:
- Remove any tight or restrictive items from the area, including jewellery or clothing.
- Do not remove any items firmly stuck to the wound unless they are still hot or smouldering.
- Do not burst any blisters on the burn area or disturb the wound.
- Spray Burnshield Hydrogel liberally over the burn wound.
- Ensure that the Burnshield Hydrogel goes beyond the surface area of the burn.
- If the burn area is large, apply a Burnshield Dressing to the area and secure it with a bandage.
- Continue to soak the dressing area with Burnshield Hydrogel. If the dressing is kept moist, it can remain in place for up to 48 hours.
- Seek medical advice depending on the burn’s depth, size, and severity.
