THE MOST EFFECTIVE BURN TREATMENT AVAILABLE!

WHAT IS WATER-JEL?
Water-Jel is an effective first aid tool for use on skin burns and provides an alternative to traditional water treatments. The agent cools effectively, soothes pain, minimises the risk of infections and makes it easier to remove burned tissue and pieces of clothing.

The cooling effect of Water-Jel lasts several hours, which makes it suitable for treating burn victims while in transport to a hospital or emergency room. This is why Water-Jel has been used by emergency services and armed forces around the world for over 30 years.

Water-Jel is available as a gel, burn dressings, dressings for facial burns and fire blankets in various sizes and kits. Additionally, the products are compact and easy to carry.

The dressings consist of dual-layer nonwoven material soaked in heat-absorbing, anti-bacterial gel. The gel is biodegradable and free from harmful substances, which makes it safe for use on skin and mucous membranes. Additionally, the gel is clear for better assessing the extent of the injury.  

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Water-Jel is initially cold but adjusts to the patient’s body temperature after 1-4 minutes. Studies have shown that Water-Jel can reduce the surface temperature of a skin burn from 80 to 37 degrees Celsius in approximately 4 minutes. This greatly benefits the healing process of the affected skin area.

Cooling a burn injury with water may lead to hypothermia (reduced body temperature) as blood vessels control the body temperature. Conversely, petroleum-based products tend to insulate heat on the skin surface.

Unlike other products, Water-Jel has the unique capability of absorbing heat, gently cooling the skin and balancing the difference in temperature. This stabilises and manages the degree of tissue damage, which in turn improves pain relief for the injured person. The result: a more effective burn treatment.
