Safety First Aid HypaSoothe Burn Dressing 10x10cm (D8160)

Description

Genuine Safety First Aid · Part no. D8160

The HypaSoothe D8160 is a 10x10cm sterile burn dressing soaked in a water-based gel, for minor burns and scalds, including first and second degree burns. It does not stick to the burn, keeps the area moist and covered, and is CE marked. In a garage it suits burns from hot exhausts, engines or coolant.

Good to know

• What should I do before using it? Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes first, remove rings or watches near it, then lay the gel dressing over the area.
• Which burns need more than a dressing? Large or deep burns, burns to the face, hands or feet, chemical or electrical burns, and any burn on a young child need medical help, not just a dressing.
• Why a gel dressing instead of a plaster? A plaster's adhesive can stick to and damage burnt skin; the gel dressing is non-adherent and keeps the skin moist instead.

Which one?

For cuts and grazes rather than burns, the HypaCover Large Sterile Dressings – 18 x 18cm (D7632PK6) are the right cover; a cold pack such as the HypaGel (Q2291) is for sprains, not burns.
