Public Health Care Solutions And Medical Health Information # PublicHealthSol.Com

Some of my LONG time blog readers may remember that in the very, very early days of this blog I received a terrible boiling water burn on my left foot (it left an ugly scar.)  I spilled some boiling water on top of my foot, and ouch, the burn was huge, I couldn’t walk, and after a couple of weeks it started to look/act sort of infected and hurt even more, so it was off to the doctor!

That experience has taught me that it pays to have some medical supplies on hand at home (like Burnshield dressings.)  When I did arrive at the hospital, they treated my foot for several days with a very wonderful, pain relieving, burn healing ointment that contained silver.  I can’t help but think that if we’d had a greater assortment of medical supplies on hand, my healing time and lack of mobility could have been dramatically shortened.

Even proper immediate care after the burn would have been great.  Sadly, we didn’t have any Burnshield dressings amongst our medical supplies, so we just winged it. Oh Burnshield, where were you?

• A unique versatile foam dressing provides essential immediate treatment and protection within the first critical 24 hours, following a burn
• The dressing is saturated with a sterile, water-based gel which is non-toxic, non-irritant and does not contain any fats or greases
• It moisturises the burn area, and soothing tea-tree oils cools the skin thereby minimising trauma or tissue damage.
• It is non-adhesive and can be removed with cool water or saline solution without causing discomfort

For use on 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree burns – including facial burns and scalds. Apply directly to the wound and cover with a protective bandage.

• Burnshield Hydrogel is designed to lower the skin temperature and moisture the burn area.
• It provides instant cooling and relief and should be applied liberally to burns, scalds and sunburn.
• The new spray nozzle means easy application and it is safe to use on children.
