First Aid: Burns

Knowing how to treat burns can help to reduce the risk of serious injury and scarring and having the correct products in your first aid kit can make this a simple process. Here at WonderCare, we have a good range of dressings and treatments for burns and you can talk to our experienced staff about the best options for your family first aid kit.

It is important to give first aid as soon as possible when you are treating a burn or scald, and this is because the skin will continue to burn if the process is not stopped. You should remove any clothing or jewellery that is close to the burn unless it is stuck to the burnt skin, in which case you should not touch it. It is vital to cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for at least 20 minutes as soon as you can after the injury occurs and continue to do so after this time if the area is still painful.

If the burn is large or deep, you should seek medical assistance as soon as you can. You should go to the hospital if the burn is larger than the size of the patient’s hand or is on the face, neck, hands, feet, joints or genitals, or if it is a chemical or electrical burn or has caused white or charred skin. You should also seek medical advice if the patient is a child or has an existing medical condition.

Medicare Burn Dressings are designed to give instant relief from burns, scalds and sunburn, and they are simple and effective as part of your first aid kit. They contain a soothing burn gel that promotes healing and can be very helpful in relieving the pain after an accident. We also stock Medicare Burn Gel as a separate product, including in sachets that are a handy addition to your travel first aid kit.

Bepantiseptic First Aid Cream, formerly known as Germolene, is a soothing formula that can help to numb the affected area of skin and treat minor burns as well as blisters, stings, insect bites and cuts.
