CoolTherm 50 x 150mm is a sterile, non-adherent hydrogel burn dressing with a narrow rectangular shape. Its 5 x 15cm dimensions make it a useful option where a longer dressing fits the affected area better than a square format.
CoolTherm 50 x 150mm is a sterile hydrogel burn dressing combining a substantial non-woven carrier with cooling gel. Its elongated 5 x 15cm shape provides a different coverage option from square burn dressings and can conform to the affected area without placing an adhesive surface directly against burnt skin.
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 CoolTherm dressing should not delay or replace this initial cooling. Once appropriate first aid has been completed, its 50 x 150mm format provides a prepared hydrogel covering where that shape and size suit the affected area.
Why Choose the 50 x 150mm Shape?
The narrow rectangular format can be more practical than a 100 x 100mm square where the affected area is longer than it is wide. Choose the dressing according to the area that actually needs covering rather than folding, stretching or overlapping a smaller product simply to make it fit.
What You Can Expect When Using It
The dressing combines a gel-based carrier and burn covering in one sterile product. Its elongated shape is the main practical difference for you as it offers targeted rectangular coverage rather than simply providing a larger square dressing.
✅ Long, narrow coverage
The 50 x 150mm dimensions provide a rectangular dressing area that can suit an elongated affected area better than a square format.

✅ Hydrogel carrier dressing
Cooling gel and the non-woven carrier are combined, so a separate dressing does not need to be loaded with loose gel before use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CoolTherm 50 x 150mm Small Burn Dressing used for? It is a sterile hydrogel dressing designed to cool, soothe and cover burnt skin after appropriate immediate first aid. Its 5 x 15cm rectangular dimensions are particularly useful when a longer, narrower dressing shape better matches the affected area.Why choose a 50 x 150mm dressing instead of a square one? Shape can be as important as overall size. This dressing provides elongated coverage, whereas a 100 x 100mm dressing covers a wider square area. Choose whichever format covers the affected area appropriately without unnecessary folding or stretching.
Should I apply the CoolTherm dressing straight away? Do not delay the recommended initial cooling of a fresh thermal burn or scald. NHS guidance says to hold the affected area under cool running water for 20 minutes as soon as possible.
Will the dressing stick to burnt skin? NHS Medical specifies CoolTherm burn dressings as non-adherent to burnt skin, helping distinguish them from conventional adhesive dressings.
Is this dressing reusable? No. This SafetyBox product is supplied as one sterile burn dressing and should be treated as a single-use first-aid item.
