Burn Gel

Burn Gel

Burn Gel is recommended for the temporary relief of minor burns. Cools and soothes damaged skin without trapping heat and dries without leaving skin feeling sticky.

Treatment for Heat/Thermal/Contact Burns

These include flame, scald, blast (hot gas), inhalation injury and direct heat contact.
IMMEDIATELY cool burns with cool running water (CoSTR 2015: strong recommendation/low-quality evidence)1. ANZCOR recommends cooling for 20 minutes.
If possible, remove all rings, watches, jewellery or other constricting items from the affected area without causing further tissue damage.
Remove wet, non-adherent clothing as clothing soaked with hot liquids retains heat.
Cover the burnt area with a loose and light non-stick dressing, preferably clean, dry, lint-free (non-fluffy) material e.g. plastic cling film.
Cover unburnt areas and keep the rest of the victim warm to reduce the risk of hypothermia.
Where feasible elevate burnt limbs to minimise swelling.

DO NOT peel off adherent clothing or burning substances.
DO NOT use ice or ice water to cool the burn as further tissue damage may result.
DO NOT break blisters.
DO NOT apply lotions, ointments, creams or powders other than hydrogel (This Burn Gel falls into the same category)
