Easy to apply, this non-adherent dressing can be removed without causing further trauma to the burn area. It’s suitable for emergency care on superficial, partial or full thickness burns.

Every home, workplace, or travel first aid kit should have a Burn Dressing. It’s a must-have for immediate response to burns from heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation.

Remember, in case of severe burns, always seek medical attention immediately.

First aid advice for burns and scalds is outlined below.

• Stop the burning process as soon as possible. This may mean removing the person from the area, dousing flames with water or smothering flames with a blanket. Do not put yourself at risk of getting burnt as well.
• Remove any clothing or jewellery near the burnt area of skin, but do not attempt to remove anything that is stuck to the burnt skin because this could cause more damage.
• Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm water for 10-30 minutes, ideally within 20 minutes of the injury occurring. Never use ice, iced water or any creams or greasy substances, such as butter.
• Make sure that the person keeps warm, using a blanket or layers of clothing (avoiding the injured area). This is to prevent hypothermia occurring, when a person's body temperature drops below 35°C (95°F). This is a risk if you are cooling a large burnt area, particularly in children and the elderly.
• Cover the burn with cling film in a layer over the burn, rather than by wrapping it around a limb. A clean, clear plastic bag can be used for burns on your hand.
• The pain from a burn can be treated with paracetamol or ibuprofen. Always check the manufacturer's instructions when using over-the-counter (OTC) medication. Children under 16 years of age should not be given aspirin.
• Once you have taken these steps, you will need to decide whether further medical treatment is necessary.
