Description
The antiseptic, antifungal properties, the local anesthetic effect, and the ability to penetrate deep into the wound are the most notable qualities. Upon contact with the skin, the hydrogel gradually cools the damaged surface and manages the cooling process.
After five to ten minutes, the skin temperature drops approximately 5 degrees Celsius below the normal value. This significantly reduces the hypothermia that often occurs in victims of burns in a later stage. Burnshield also decreases the formation of edema by about 50%. After applying the sterile compress to the wound, the cooling effect can last for 6 to 12 hours when covered as a occlusive dressing (with non-absorbent material).
