What is Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds used for?
Available in:
- Box of 6 small gauze pads (5 x 5 cm)
- Box of 4 large gauze pads (8 x 8 cm).
Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds combines two ingredients (petrolatum and carboxymethylcellulose) that provide pain relief and promote wound healing. Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds does not stick to the wound and can be removed painlessly. The gauze pad does not come with a backing; it should be covered with a compress and secured with an elastic bandage or adhesive tape.
Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds dressings are designed to relieve pain and promote healing of burns and superficial wounds. Available in two convenient sizes, these dressings combine two beneficial ingredients: petroleum jelly and carboxymethylcellulose.
The combination of petroleum jelly and carboxymethylcellulose provides effective pain relief while promoting optimal wound healing. These two ingredients work synergistically to create an environment conducive to healing, protecting the skin while allowing for rapid regeneration of damaged tissue.
Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds is specially formulated not to stick to the wound, allowing for pain-free removal without the risk of traumatizing the skin when changing the bandage. This feature is particularly important for sensitive areas or superficial wounds where gentle handling is required.
Urgo Burns & Superficial Wounds dressings do not come with a backing, making them easy to apply to the wound. They can be covered with a gauze pad and held in place with an elastic bandage or adhesive tape, providing additional protection while ensuring the dressing stays securely in place.
Available in two convenient sizes, Urgo Burns and Superficial Wounds dressings meet the specific needs of each wound. The box of 6 small gauze pads (5 x 5 cm) is ideal for small burns and wounds, while the box of 4 large gauze pads (8 x 8 cm) is better suited for more extensive injuries.
We also offer Urgo Special Face Transparent Support Dressing, Box of 20, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How do you use these oil-impregnated gauze pads?
For a superficial second-degree burn: First, run the wound under cold water for 15 minutes to limit the spread of the burn.
In all cases:
- 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.
- Dry thoroughly with a sterile compress.
- Whenever possible, leave the blister intact, as it protects against infection. If it bursts, be sure to disinfect the area. There is no need to remove dead skin unless it comes off on its own.
- Remove the protective wings.
- Apply to the affected area.
There is no need to apply a cream beforehand.
The usual duration of treatment is 5 to 6 days, with the first dressing changed after 24 hours, then every 48 hours.

Precautions
Do not use in cases of deep second-degree or third-degree burns, or for burns on the face. In these cases, a prior medical consultation is required.
Reusing a single-use product may increase the risk of infection.
Urgo Superficial Burn and Wound Dressings are intended only for the treatment of localized wounds no larger than the size of a dressing. 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 burns in children, 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. The URGO Burns and Superficial Wounds dressing must be used immediately after opening the packet; keep it away from heat, light, and moisture.
