Burnshield is a Sterile Hydrogel designed for the initial emergency treatment of burns. It offers physical protection against infection, minimises trauma and skin damage, and is non-toxic, making it safe for use on children. Burnshield meets the European Union standards for products bearing the CE mark and is ISO 13485 accredited. These dressings are essential for the emergency treatment of burns, providing immediate cooling, pain relief, and a reduced risk of infection. They are effective even on full-thickness (third-degree) burns.
