Water-Jel® Military Burn Dressing 4" x 16"

NSN: 6510-01-243-5894 CEC: SPM2D0-09-D-0009 A well-suited dressing for the inner or outer area of the forearm. Can also be used on a portion of the leg or to wrap a foot. Used in first aid survival kits used by military personnel. Military burn dressings have a more durable and more compact packaging than the consumer version, and the label can be read with night vision goggles. Water-Jel is a gel-soaked, sterile dressing that stops burn progression, cools the skin, eases pain and protects against airborne contamination. This Water-Jel® product contains a new and improved gel formula in response to feedback from various emergency departments. The new gel is clear (instead of opaque) which allows emergency department staff to see what is happening to the burn site without removing the gel. This product is no longer scented with tea tree oil, this is for ease in the emergency room as well as being less detectable in military applications. The change in formula has not affected the consistency of the gel, it won’t stick to the surface of a burn injury, which means it does not have to be aggressively removed. Hyaluronic Acid has also been added to the revised recipe, which modulates the inflammatory response and facilitates wound closure, and MICRO Kill Antibacterial has been included to protect the wound from infection. When a burn occurs, seconds count! Burn injuries should be cooled immediately, otherwise the heat will continue to destroy the surrounding and underlying tissue, and may progress a partial thickness (second degree) burn into a full thickness (third degree) burn injury. This, in turn, will present serious consequences for the patient and considerable extra cost for the receiving hospital/burn unit.
