Indications for use of the patch

The patch contains a gel impregnated with medicinal substances with antimicrobial, analgesic, cooling and wound-healing effects. The patch itself is perforated, designed to prevent the accumulation of excess moisture, and has an absorbent pad.

And yet it creates increased humidity in the wound, which is permissible only in certain cases. For these reasons, the indications for use of the patch are as follows:

• Superficial burns of I-II degree, occupying a small area,
• The recovery period after deep burns in the stage of epithelization (covering with the epidermis, when the wound “heals”)
• Small areas of third degree burns after removal of blisters, necrosis in the absence of wound suppuration,

The indications are determined by the doctor, and without his knowledge, the anti-burn patch can only be used in the case of minor first-degree burns.

Hydrocoll

Advantages:

• self-fixing bandage with a semi-permeable top layer, which prevents the entry of water and microorganisms, facilitating body care;
• accelerates wound cleansing and healing;
• smooth edges of the bandage ensure reliable fixation;
• is painlessly removed.

At first (when exudate is released from the wound), the bandage should be changed daily, and then you can leave it for several days. The bandage needs to be changed if its color has faded and the swelling has spread to the wound surface.

A layer of hydrocolloid gel may remain on the wound; do not confuse it with pus. If desired, we can rinse the affected area of ​​skin with Ringer's solution using a sterile syringe to assess the condition of the wound.

There are different sizes of bandages on sale. The price for 1 piece measuring 10 cm x 10 cm is about 300 rubles.

Disadvantages of use

Adhesive plasters for burns have disadvantages that must be taken into account when treating:

• Pollution. The dressing material quickly gets dirty, which increases the risk of microbes entering the lesions.
• Insufficient air access. Some patches have airtight protective layers. Because of this, the skin sweats a lot, and bacteria multiply faster under the bandage.

Sometimes tapes with a hydrogel base cause allergic reactions, as indicated by itching, small blisters around the wound, and redness.

Dressings for local treatment of burns

The high level of modern medicine and innovative medical technologies makes it possible to save the lives of people with burns of more than 50% of the entire surface of the body, including those with deep thermal injuries. And local treatment after burns , the success of which largely depends on the properties of the dressings used. Classification of burns The provision of medical care for burns should be differentiated, depending on the depth and degree of the burn. All types of burns are classified as follows: I degree - a mild burn of the upper layer of the epidermis, which is manifested by swelling of the affected area of ​​​​the skin and its redness. First-degree burns are treated at home; hospital treatment is required only if more than 50% of the skin is damaged. II degree - the entire epidermis is affected, the burn is manifested by detachment of the epidermis and the formation of blisters (for example, a burn with boiling water). If a significant part of the body surface is affected by burns, burn disease may develop; this condition requires mandatory hospital treatment. IIIa degree are skin burns in which not only the epidermis is affected, but also the dermal layer of the skin, or the skin itself, but viable cells remain in the affected areas, from which epithelization of the wound is possible in the future. IIIb degree - characterized by complete damage to the dermal layer of the skin; subcutaneous tissue may also be affected. Treatment of this type of burns is only inpatient; with a large area of ​​burns, burn shock develops. IV degree - deep severe burns, in which, in addition to the skin, subcutaneous structures are affected - subcutaneous tissue, muscles, bones. First aid for burns First aid for extensive and/or deep burns is to take the victim to a hospital as soon as possible to provide qualified medical care. Before transporting the victim, first aid for burns will consist of cooling the burn site and pain relief. For cooling, you can use cold running water, snow or ice. For pain relief, the victim can take two analgin tablets orally.

Treatment after mild burns at home Treatment after I-II degree burns with a small area of ​​the affected areas is possible at home. First aid for burns in this case will consist of treating the wound, after which a special burn bandage is applied. The wound is carefully, so as not to injure, cleaned of dirt and debris of the epidermis, and then treated with antiseptic solutions - for example, an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate. Opened blisters should be removed, and liquid should be removed from large unopened blisters by puncture; the upper epidermis should not be cut off. Small bubbles do not need to be opened. Next, you should use an ointment for burns with antibiotics - this will avoid suppuration and soften the edges of the wound. After this, a burn bandage is applied to the wound, which will protect the wound surface from external influences and secondary infection.

Optimal dressings for burns

Until recently, every dressing for a patient with burns turned into a very painful and extremely unpleasant procedure, since ordinary gauze sterile bandages and napkins stuck to the wound surface and injured the wound every time the dressing was removed. In addition, such bandages have insufficient sorption capacity, as a result of which wounds remain wet for a long time and very slowly move from the exudation phase to the granulation phase. But now you can make dressings painless and speed up wound healing using new comfortable dressings from PAUL HARTMANN. At home, it would be optimal to use the following dressings for burns: Atrauman Ag, Branolind N, Grassolind neutral.
