Advanced Burn Care

H-F Antidote Gel contains Calcium Gluconate and is used in the treatment of skin burns caused by Hydrofluoric Acid. The gel prevents the extraction of calcium from the wound reducing the burn damage to the bone and deep tissue. It has been conclusively shown that flushing the affected area with water for one minute and then massaging HF antidote gel into the wound until there is a cessation of pain is the most effective first aid treatment available for burns as a result of Hydrofluoric Acid contamination.HF antidote gel contains calcium gluconate which combines with HF to form insoluble Calcium Fluoride, thus preventing the extraction of Calcium from the body tissue and bones.

A Burnshield contour dressing is designed for use on all large burn areas requiring first aid treatment.  They are suitable for treating 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree burns, including facial burns and scalds. A large-sized sterilised burn dressing should be applied to a burn wound as soon as possible to cool the wound area. The larger the burn trauma area, the more critical it is to apply a dressing quickly to safely cool the wound, reducing the risk of shock and further tissue damage. Burnshield Contour Dressings are suitable to treat large burns caused by: Scalds from liquid or steam Contact with fire Thermal contact  Electrical contact  Exposure to harmful chemicals Exposure to radiation If the burn wound is large or deep, you should always seek medical advice from a professional as soon as possible. How to Apply a Burnshield Contour Dressing A qualified first aider or medical professional should be tending to a patient suffering from a burn or scald. Where this is not possible, the dressing packaging provides clear Burnshield instructions on how to use the dressing on a burn wound. Follow these simple steps when treating a burn wound with a Burnshield contour dressing: Remove any tight or restrictive items from the burn area, such as jewellery or clothing. Do not remove any items firmly stuck to the wound unless they are still hot or smouldering. Do not disturb the wound area or burst any blisters. Open the foil package containing the Burnshield contour dressing and remove it. Gently apply the dressing to the burnt area, ensuring that the Burnshield hydrogel goes beyond the surface area of the burn and that the dressing fully covers the wound. Secure the dressing in place with a protective bandage. You may require multiple bandages to secure the Burnshield contour dressing to a large area safely. Continue to soak the dressing area with Burnshield Hydrogel, if available. If the dressing is kept moist, it can remain in place for up to 48 hours. Seek urgent medical advice for any large or deep burns and monitor the patient for signs of shock.
