Celox is now out with a gauze. However I'm sticking with the burn dressings until I can dig up more info.

Have to agree,besides when the gauze sticks to the burn you promote granulation,which is part of the healing process.Originally Posted by izzyscout21

Not sure I understood the first part of that... In my experience, burn dressings are moistened in Sterile Saline solution to moisten the surrounding tissue to stop the burning process and keep the less damaged tissue moist to prevent other ailments...
It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.
they will still dry out. Just depends on how long its on there before you get to the hospital OR if you even have any post-shtf

I think I will stick to my WaterGel products for burn treatment, I keep those in my IFAK exactly for that reasons.
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
good point...
Burns are a complicated thing to treat in the PAW, that is for sure... and Painful...

Not a good idea at all. It won't help at all, will make the burn treatment worse, and will waste the hemostatic agent.
Ill clarify. Its is advertised to soak up saline to "cool first and second degree burns"
Cooling third degree or partial thickness burns can lead to hypothermia, vasoconstriction and ultimately necrosis of the ischemic tissue
If you are only looking at minor burns then keep it simple....mustard is the best thing. I know it sounds weird but I learned it from an Amish woman when she accidentally put her finger in hot oil as she was making me a fried pie. I thought it strange when within seconds after putting on regular ol mustard she said it wasn't burning anymore. Not long after that, I burned my wrist in the oven and figured I would try it and was shocked when it worked. It didn't blister or hurt. A couple of days later dh said 'nice burn' and I had no idea what he was talking about. I looked at it and it should have been a terrible burn but I didn't even know it was there other than the skin was so purple it was almost black. That's my go to treatment for anything other than 3rd degree burns.
I apologize for nothing...
