Urgo Dressings for burns Superficial wounds Sterile Large size 10x7cm What is a burn? A burn is a tissue injury, often caused by contact with a heat source for a period of time. Burns vary in severity: 1st degree: sunburn, domestic burn, rapid contact with a flame. The skin is intact but red and painful, without blisters or tears. Healing occurs spontaneously after 5-6 days. 2nd degree superficial: a blister full of transparent liquid appears. The pain is severe and the dermis is red. Healing occurs spontaneously after 10 days. - 2nd degree deep: results from prolonged contact with a heat source (boiling water, oil, etc.). The blisters are usually perforated. Under these blisters, the dermis is discolored and the pain is mild. The epidermis is destroyed and requires medical intervention. - 3rd degree: the skin is papery, white or brownish, numb, totally destroyed and requires hospital treatment. Its tulle contains lipidocolloid technology, a unique combination of hydrocolloid particles and petroleum jelly. This formula relieves pain and promotes healing. Furthermore, the dressing does not adhere to the wound, allowing for painless removal.
