Care Science Hydrogel Sterile Burn Dressing Bandage Pads For Relief, 4 Ct | Instant Cooling Relief Minor Burns & Wounds

GREAT pads! I bought these for my brother who is a 40 year long ASE certified mechanic after he called me one afternoon to relay he had burned his hand with an oxyacetylene welder/torch. He isnt stupid.it was a matter of a lack of visual blockage caused by a shift of the protective eye wear. Anyways.he worked thru it after it happened. He's a die hard. Called me when he got home wondering 'what' he should put on it. (OMG!) He should have gone to an urgent Care Center ASAP..but he didn't. I can't believe his boss didn't make him go ASAP. I mean that is a Workmans Comp. situation. Anyways. I'd previously sent him some 'super silver' wound gel...oh .he had forgotten about that.... so I told him to use that. the picture he sent was 'ugly'...raw skin right across that soft fleshy part of his thumb on his right hand. So he used the silver wound gel and I immediately got on amazon after talking to him and ordered these bandages for him. They would get to him the next day. He had used regular bandaids (when he had taken care of it at work) which had been challenging to remove when he got home.... (OMG! He is lucky his sister is as intelligent as she is!) The 'shop' has NO EMERGENCY products for situations such as the one my brother had. (OMG!...WTH?????) Anyays.so my brother rec'd these the next day. He LOVED them! 'life saver'.VERY COMFORTABLE and they allowed him to continue to do his job. He is a DIE HARD. He loves what he does. He wore these wrapped gauze and then put a fingerless Mechanix glove on.said it worked like a charm. The severe burn healed SUPR NICE! Can barely tell he experienced this unfortunate incident. Sadly.it didn't keep him from getting a staph infection. So within a week and a half he was in urgent care wondering what these painful 'boils' were that he was getting on his abdomen. So he was out of work for 3 days because of that. Severe burns are nothing to mess with. PLEASE! Go to the freaking doctor!

These really help with burn wounds. It helps soothe them and I noticed healthier healing from the wounds I used this on vs regular bandages.

These are totally necessary to help heal wounds and keep them moist while doing so

I burned my thumb really bad in December and I still can't go without having some sort of burn pad on it. I've tried this brand as well as 2nd Skin and this one is so much better. The first problem with this is that when it dries out it gets really hard, like the whole thing turns into a hard plastic in whatever shape it dries. The 2nd Skin kind gets jagged around the edges and hurts because it scratches, whereas this one just dries out. You can get it wet and it will soften back up. The difficulty with that property it is if you have it submerged or under running water for any amount of time, let's say you do dishes or take a shower, it will literally crumble to pieces. Both brands of these burn pads you can remove the plastic cover on both sides and they're exactly the same on both, so you can cut them into whatever shape you need and flip them around or whatever you need to do to make it the right size and shape. But then you have to figure out how to keep it covered so it doesn't dry out so fast. The problem with that is the plastic isn't flexible so if you have an knuckle, it's impossible to get it perfect. If you have a burn on a place that's flat, these problems probably wouldn't be as bad. The other difficult part is I need something to keep it in place without drying it out and still be flexible enough to use my thumb. Nothing works perfectly. I've been cutting up rubber gloves and wrapping that with bandage tape or the stretchy kind of ace bandage type stuff. It's good enough. Everything has to be cut and shaped individually. Overall I highly recommend care science hydrogel burn pads. I just wish the flexibility wasn't lost to the plastic covering it.

Work great and feel great
