What is BURNAID & how does it work?
The Burnaid range consists of sterile gel impregnated burn dressings (including sachets and tubes
) for immediate first aid treatment of burns. Burnaid rapidly cools the burn helping to prevent further tissue damage and aid the healing process. This offers the patient rapid and ongoing pain relief.Burnaid Gel consists of in excess of 90% water trapped in a proprietary gel, containing a small percentage of Melaleuca Oil – a naturally occurring substance, steam distilled from the leaves of the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree. Better known as Tea Tree Oil, Melaleuca Oil is a proven antiseptic, which exhibits local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Burnaid Dressings are sterile and exhibit mild biocidal properties – helping to prevent secondary infection.
From the patient’s perspective, they are afforded almost immediate pain relief from the cooling gel and the anaesthetic properties of the Melaleuca Oil. The Burnaid Dressing consists of a 3mm thick pad of open cell foam impregnated with the Burnaid gel. When placed on a burn, a 3mm layer of gel is held on the skin. The cooling property of the dressing helps to halt the burn progression and minimizes further tissue damage as Burnaid re-hydrates the burn.
Burns Management
Burnaid Dressings provide an effective and simple way of relieving pain and treating burns. The dressing is placed on the burn and stays in-situ for up to two hours. There is no requirement to keep irrigating the burn, nor is there any ‘run-off’. Furthermore the need to administer narcotics for pain relief can be greatly reduced. The Dressing doesn’t disguise the extent of the burn. When the burn needs to be further examined, the nonadherent dressing simply lifts off and any residual gel rinsed off.
Other Practical Benefits
- allows for easy transport to medical attention, as the gel stays ‘in-situ’ on the skin far better than chilled-water irrigated dressing
- need only be applied once - saving nursing resources and time
- suitable alternative where clean cold water is not readily available
