A Burn Injury Can Happen in Seconds – Are You Ready to Treat It?

Ready to treat a Burn Injury in seconds?

 

Burn injuries carry a high risk of complications that can leave casualties disabled, in constant pain, and even lead to death. According to the World Health Organisation, around 180,000 people die every year from burn-related injuries, while non-fatal burns are the leading cause of morbidity where casualties are left disabled, disfigured, or requiring prolonged hospital treatment.

This startling statistic highlights the importance of treating burns correctly with the right type of dressing so that people who suffer burn injuries wherever they are are given the best possible chance of recovery.

Covering a burn with the appropriate dressing protects damaged and sensitive skin and provides a moist, sterile environment for the healing process to begin. Applying a dressing correctly will also allow antibacterial properties to absorb into the burn to prevent infection.

How AeroBurn™ can treat burns

AeroBurn™ treatments have been formulated to deliver quick, soothing support for minor burns, scalds and sunburn in everyday settings.

The range includes cooling burn gel-infused dressings and convenient gel sachets that help protect and soothe the affected area during the initial stages of treatment.

AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Dressing is a sterile, gel‑impregnated pad purpose‑built for first aid treatment of minor burns and scalds in workplaces, community settings, vehicles and home kits. Its water‑based hydrogel helps cool the burn surface and soothe discomfort on contact, while the soft non‑woven carrier lays smoothly over curved areas for quick, confident coverage. The single‑use format supports best practice first response and straightforward disposal after reassessment.

Designed as a protective covering, the dressing functions as a mechanical barrier during the critical early phase of care. The gel‑infused construction helps manage minimal to moderate exudate, and the low‑adherent interface supports gentle removal when it’s time to review the injury. Because the hydrogel is water soluble, it can be rinsed away easily with clean water to support follow‑up care and redressing.

Each dressing is sterile and sealed in an easy‑open pouch to aid fast access when seconds matter. Trusted by organisations that prioritise readiness and reliability, AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Dressing integrates seamlessly into first aid stations and mobile kits across kitchens, workshops, warehouses, classrooms and field vehicles.

When burns and scalds occur on or near the facial area, we recommend the AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Face Mask. This non-woven sterile burns mask is specifically designed to treat facial injuries by proving immediate pain relief while cooling to the burn area. It also offers superior thermodynamic qualities compared with other foam carriers so the healing process can begin the moment it is applied to the affected area.

Burn Gel Solutions

Another solution for treating burns is our AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Sachet and Burn Gel Spray which both provide instant burn cooling, limits tissue damage, and aids healing. By helping cool down the burns area and reduce heat, they provide immediate pain relief and support healing.

AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Sachet is a topical hydrogel designed for immediate first aid care of minor burns, scalds and sunburn. The clear, water-based formula spreads easily to cover the affected area and delivers rapid cooling comfort. With a high water content, the gel helps rehydrate the skin’s surface while creating a soothing barrier from external contamination. As each sachet is sterile, it ensures the wound is clean and protected from possible infection. A burns casualty can also easily apply single-dose gel sachets if they are alone.

AeroBurn™ Burn Gel Spray is a ready‑to‑use, non‑aerosol hydrogel designed for calm, confident first aid when minor burns, scalds and sunburn occur. The pump action delivers a fine, even layer without rubbing or direct contact, supporting hygienic, touch‑minimised application across workplaces, schools, vehicles and homes. The clear gel sits comfortably on the skin so the area remains visible during observation and care.

What kinds of burn injuries?

Burns can occur for a multitude of reasons and can be placed into specific categories according to the nature of the burn. Different burns require different treatments and dressings to facilitate healing. The different types of burns are:

Thermal burns

Thermal burns are caused when skin comes into contact with an external heat source like a naked flame, boiling water, steam, or hot object such as a clothes iron.

Chemical burns

Chemical burns occur when skin or part of the body is exposed to harmful chemicals including household bleach.

Electrical burns

Electrical burns occur when the skin comes into contact with an electric current. They can appear less severe than they actually are because electricity travels through skin tissue.

Radiation burns

Radiation burns are caused by exposure to radiation. Sunburn is the most common form of radiation burn. Radiation therapy and exposure to X-rays can also result in burns of this nature.

Friction burns

Friction often produces heat which, when combined, can burn the skin. Friction burns include carpet burns, road rash, and numerous sports injuries from sliding or falling across a hard surface like turf, grass, or a gymnasium floor.

How often to change burn dressings?

When burns occur, most burn dressings should be changed daily. Regular changing of burn dressings keeps burns clean and moist and prevents infection occurring.

Casualties can experience pain and discomfort when dressings are being changed, especially in more severe burn cases. Therefore, medicines are often provided for the patient to help manage and limit the pain they may feel during the process of changing dressings.
