BURNSHIELD Face Mask Dressing

Description

The Burnshield Face Mask is a sterile hydrogel, foam-based emergency burn dressing designed to cover the face while helping protect injured tissue during the initial stage of care. Its 200 x 450 mm format is shaped for facial coverage, making it suitable for emergency response where rapid cooling and wound protection are important.

Burnshield dressings are intended for use in emergency burn care and are described as suitable for a range of burn types, including fire, thermal and scalding injuries, as well as chemical, radiation, and electrical burns. The dressing range is also identified for emergency-phase use on 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-degree burns while awaiting further medical assessment.
