Is the band-aid effective against burns? Types of burns

Leaving aside the wound is impossible, because there is a huge probability of infection by pathogens, which will only worsen the situation and prolong the recovery process. For treatment it is recommended to use a bandage from burns, which can be purchased at a pharmacy. Such medical devices stimulate the process of regeneration of the epidermis.

What is a remedy?

A patch is an indispensable component of every first aid kit. It is customary to use it for various injuries of the skin. Not everyone knows that a similar device was developed for the treatment of burns. Such patches can be used if the patient has first and second degree burns.

The action of the anti-burn patch is based on the acceleration of wound healing when creating a moist environment in which the epidermal cells multiply faster and overlap each other. Do not compare such a plaster with the usual, not intended for severe cases.

The burn patch of each trade mark presented on the pharmaceutical market is made of high-tech material, which is impregnated with a special agent. Upon contact with the damaged surface, such material quickly absorbs the exudate released by the wound and turns it into a gel. The latter creates suitable conditions for the healing of damaged epidermis.
