Burnshield 100 x 100mm is a sterile hydrogel burn dressing supplied singly for covering relatively small burns and scalds. The dressing contains 40g of cooling gel and provides a ready-to-apply alternative to dispensing loose burn gel separately.
Burnshield 100 x 100mm is a small sterile hydrogel dressing designed to provide cooling coverage over a burn or scald. The dressing combines a 10 x 10cm carrier with 40g of Burnshield gel, giving you a prepared burn dressing rather than requiring gel and a separate covering to be assembled at the point of use.
Where This Fits in Burn First Aid
For a fresh thermal burn or scald, first cool the affected area under cool running water for 20 minutes as soon as possible. Once the initial cooling step has been completed, this Burnshield dressing provides a compact hydrogel covering where its 100 x 100mm size gives suitable coverage. It should not delay first aid or necessary medical assessment.
Is 100 x 100mm the Right Size?
This is the smaller standard Burnshield dressing, so it makes most sense for a relatively localised affected area that can be covered comfortably by a 10 x 10cm square. Where the burn extends substantially beyond the dressing, choose a more appropriate dressing size rather than trying to make a small dressing cover too much area.
What You Can Expect When Using It
The main advantage of this format is that the hydrogel and dressing are already combined. It gives you a defined area of coverage while the non-adherent dressing is designed to sit over the affected skin without sticking directly to it.
