The Aero Burn Gel Dressing consists of a thick pad of open cell foam soaked with gel. When placed on a burn, a layer of gel is held on the skin giving almost immediate pain relief from the cooling gel and the anaesthetic properties of the Melaleuca Oil. The cooling property of the dressing helps to halt the burn progression and minimizes further tissue damage. Furthermore being more than 90% water, the Dressing re-hydrates the burn and can remain in place for up to 2 hours.
The dressings are sterile and exhibit mild biocidal properties thus helping to prevent secondary infection.
