The faster you cool off burns, the less damage they may cause. Soothe & Cool burn bandages have a hydrogel (water & glycerol gel) wound pad which instantly cools burns to help relieve pain. Waterproof and designed to cover the wound for up to 5 days, the pad also donates moisture to the wound as needed to help create an ideal healing environment. These bandages can also be used to help soothe, cushion and prevent blisters, as well as treat minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions.
