Burnshield 200 x 200mm is a sterile hydrogel burn dressing designed to cool, soothe and cover burns and scalds. Its 20 x 20cm format provides broader coverage than the small 100 x 100mm dressing while keeping the gel and covering together in one product.
Burnshield 200 x 200mm is a medium sterile hydrogel dressing for burns and scalds. The flexible open-cell foam dressing holds Burnshield hydrogel against the affected area, giving you a ready-prepared 20 x 20cm covering rather than requiring loose gel and a separate dressing to be assembled.
Where This Fits in Burn First Aid
For a fresh thermal burn or scald, cool the affected area under cool running water for 20 minutes as soon as possible. The Burnshield dressing should not delay this first step. Once the burn has been cooled, the 200 x 200mm dressing provides a larger hydrogel covering where a 100 x 100mm dressing would offer too little coverage.
When Does the 200 x 200mm Size Make Sense?
Choose this medium size when you need one continuous 20 x 20cm dressing rather than several smaller dressings. The dressing can conform around areas such as hands, feet or parts of a limb, but burns involving the face, hands, feet, major joints or other concerning locations can require hospital assessment regardless of whether the dressing physically covers them.
What You Can Expect When Using It
The main advantage of this medium dressing is its combination of broader coverage and flexibility. It gives you a gel-loaded covering that can conform to the affected area without relying on an adhesive surface against burnt skin.
✅ Medium-area coverage
The 200 x 200mm dimensions give substantially more coverage than the small 100 x 100mm dressing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Burnshield Medium 200 x 200mm Burn Dressing used for? It is a sterile hydrogel-loaded foam dressing intended to provide cooling, non-adherent coverage for burns and scalds after the correct immediate first-aid response.How much hydrogel does the dressing contain? The individual 200 x 200mm dressing contains 120g of hydrogel, as stated on the product packaging.
Why choose this size instead of the 100 x 100mm dressing? The medium dressing provides four times the surface area of a 100 x 100mm square, making it more appropriate where the smaller dressing would not comfortably cover the affected area.
Can the dressing be used around hands or feet? Its flexible foam construction is designed to conform to shaped areas, and the manufacturer lists hands and feet among its intended applications. Burns to these locations can still require hospital assessment, so dressing coverage should not be confused with burn severity.
Does the dressing replace cooling the burn with water? No. A fresh thermal burn or scald should first be cooled under cool running water for 20 minutes as soon as possible
