Urgo Bandages for Burns and Superficial Wounds, Small Size

What are Urgo Small-Size Bandages for Burns and Superficial Wounds used for?

A burn is tissue damage often caused by contact with a heat source for varying lengths of time. Burns vary in severity: first-degree (similar to a sunburn, with a bright red, painful lesion) and superficial second-degree (formation of a blister).

Urgo Burn and Superficial Wound Dressings combine two substances (petrolatum and carboxymethylcellulose) within a gauze pad that helps relieve pain and promote wound healing . It does not stick to the wound, can be removed painlessly, and does not stain. The benefits of Urgo Advanced Antiseptic Bandages provide effective solutions for your care needs; they are available at organic pharmacies and offer optimal protection and healing.

The first step in case of a burn: cool the burn with cold water
Above all, it is important to cool the burn with cold water. The sooner you do this, the more effective it is. This essential step reduces local heat and prevents inflammation from spreading. A golden rule is the “rule of three 15s,” which means rinsing the burn at 15°C, from a distance of 15 centimeters, for about 15 minutes.

For superficial burns, URGO has the solution!
When a blister forms, it’s important to leave it intact as much as possible and avoid popping it. This is because the blister acts as a barrier against infection. If it does burst, however, it’s essential to disinfect the area. In addition, it is recommended to apply a bandage or a sterile lipid-colloid gauze pad, such as URGO Burns and Superficial Wounds, to the affected area.

We also offer Urgo Waterproof Dressings (large size, pack of 5) at the best price in our online pharmacy.

How do you use these bandages?

• Clean the wound with an alcohol-free antiseptic.
• Rinse with water or URGO saline solution.
• In the case of a burn, never use colored antiseptics such as eosin.

For extensive burns, the dressing should extend well beyond the wound to allow for the absorption of exudate. If you see no improvement in healing after 6 days, consult your doctor. For any burn in a child, ask your pharmacist for advice. If there are clinical signs of local infection (redness spreading to uninjured skin, pain, etc.), consult your pharmacist or doctor.
