10 Benefits of C-Gel
What is C-Gel used for?
Calcium Gluconate Gel, or C-Gel, is designed to manage the effects of hydrofluoric acid exposure on the skin. This water-based gel helps manage the effects of fluoride ions in hydrofluoric acid, providing quick action to support skin care. When applied promptly after exposure, C-Gel helps protect tissue and bone from the harmful effects of hydrofluoric acid.
C-Gel helps in preventing the extraction of calcium levels in the affected area, supporting tissue and bone health. This makes it an indispensable component of first aid for those exposed to hydrofluoric acid. Given the risks associated with hydrofluoric acid exposure, immediate application of C-Gel is important for managing its effects.
How to use C-Gel
For optimal results and safety, the use of disposable medical examination gloves is recommended when applying the Calcium Gluconate Gel. To effectively treat hydrofluoric acid burns and ensure the best possible outcome, follow these steps:
- Initial Flushing: As soon as a hydrofluoric acid burn occurs, promptly rinse the affected area with water. Continue this flushing for at least one minute to ensure initial dilution and removal of the acid.
- Application of Gel: After flushing, apply a generous amount of Calcium Gluconate Gel directly onto the affected area.
- Massage Gently: Gently massage the gel into the wound. The massage action aids the gel in reaching the affected area.
- Monitor Pain Levels: Continue to massage the gel into the wound until there is a noticeable reduction or cessation of pain. This indicates that the gel is helping to manage the effects of hydrofluoric acid.
- Repeat if Necessary: If pain persists, repeat the application process to ensure comprehensive treatment of the affected area.
Immediate application of the gel helps manage pain and supports calcium levels, addressing a potential complication of hydrofluoric acid burns.
