The skin, one of the largest organs in the body, performs numerous vital functions including acting as your body’s greatest barrier against infection. The skin acts as a physical barrier and when this barrier is damaged, pathogens have a direct route to infiltrate the body, possibly resulting in infection.
Burn wounds are particularly prone to infection due to the large amount of necrotic tissue and protein-rich wound exudate as this provides a rich growth medium. American statistics show that almost 75% of burn fatalities occur at the scene and of those that do reach medical care, infection is a major cause of morbidity.
Preventing foreign bodies and infection from entering burn wounds is therefore essential. Burnshield emergency burn care range of products which have been designed to offer effective, fast acting cooling relief to burn injuries. Burnshield products absorb and dissipate heat, minimises shock and skin damage and reduces infection in open burn wounds.
