BurnFix® Burn Gel Dressing, 2 Pack, Sterile 4x4 Hydrogel Burn Pads

I spend a lot of my time outdoors camping, hunting, and fishing. You can't go camping without a campfire, at least I can't, that is one of the strong points, and attractiveness of the outdoors. Needless to say that it is very common for someone to get burned by the fire, by grabbing the hot end of a log stoking the fire, or accidently touching the scolding hot steel rim around the designated fire pit. It happens nearly every time we go, and that is why I purchased Burn fix! Sure enough this past weekend’s camping trip my buddy reaching for the coffee pot he leaned to far forward in his camp chair and fell forward into the fire, he put his hand out to catch himself and grabbed the steel rim of the fire pit. He burnt a majority of his palm, man it was pretty nasty, and he was in a lot of pain. I being the forward thinker (pat on back) broke out my Burn Fix, and applied it to his burn. It reduced his pain to a manageable level, I mean he could still feel it but he able to stay, and finish our camping trip. There is enough burn gel on the 4x4 inch pad that you can re-use it all day, as needed. Just reseal back in its pack or put it in a plastic sandwich size Ziploc bag that's what my buddy did. I would recommend this product as it works fast to relieve your burn. The Burn Fix burn pad is so large it could be cut up for smaller burns, and used sparingly. I now keep one pack in my backpack, one in my camping tote and one at home.

My husband had a chemical burn from a cleaning product that he used. So, I started to research things to put on the burn. I came across this and said let's give it a try. It has worked miracles. Within one day of use his hand looks so much better. The only thing was that it's so saturated that when you wrap it it oozes out of the bandage. So, I had to put guaze on top to help with the leakage when wrapped. Overall great product I had to order more just to keep in my first aid kit for just incase something like this happens again.

Thankfully, I have yet to burn myself since I purchased these burn care treatment packs. It sure is nice knowing that I have them around though. I opened one of the packs just for this review as you can see in my video and one thing that I noticed that surprised me is there's hardly any smell which is nice since Tea Tree is usually pretty strong. The pad itself is white 4" x 4" with a spongy texture and lot of *for lack of better word* GOO inside.The photo of it on the white plate looks darker than it really is as I had to adjust the lighting so that you could see it better. It is not sticky at all. It looks & feels soothing just like aloe vera (you can see how wet my fingers are in my last photo). I'm thinking that for small burns, I can cut the pad and use my Foodsaver to keep the rest fresh. I would just make sure to keep my hands and the rest of the pad super clean while cutting & putting away. The pad does not have any kind of adhesive, which you wouldn't want to put on a burn anyway so I figure the next burned in our house I will just loosely wrap and Ace bandage over and around it so it will stay put. I am in extreme klutz so I know that eventually I will burn myself again and after that happens I will come back and add to my review to tell how it works. For now I'm giving it five stars based on what I saw and felt on the product itself. I am happy that I was given the chance to purchase these at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Great addition for my first aid kit for camping.

I have just started my first bout with Shingles 7 days ago. The dermatome activated is the upper left side of my face. I went to urgent care on day 3 and was given an antiviral and narcotics to knock me out and dull the pain. Shingles tends to be very painful. The idea of being told go sleep it off for 8 days was ludicrous. By day 6 from left eye to crown I had blisters and raised angry red skin. Now comes the interesting part. I decided to try the Burn Fix pads as a test. I wanted to see if this product could help since the antiviral, calamine lotion, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar recommended by the physician did nothing to slow or reduce the Shingles spread. I did a 2 hour test for negative reaction, but the results were positive. Cooling immediate. I then wrapped the pad under sterile gauze pads and non-adhesive tape for overnight. Wow!!! Next morning only a few spots a few millimeters remained. I would sincere recommend testing this product out yourself if you have a bout of Shingles. I was told it could take many weeks for the sores to diminish once the spreading stopped. I believe I have found a go to remedy that far exceeds the kitchen remedies being used by people suffering Shingles. I must say the medical community is really failing poorly with treatment of this condition. I had purchased Burn Fix because my daughter is a barista and occasionally get severe hot water burns. The product works excellent for burn relief. It does leave wrinkled skin but is effective. For burns my preference is derma-gel hydrogel pads by Medline. Burn Fix pads are foam with the treatment infused. Derma-gel pads are a solid gel pad and actually far superior for burn treatment. However, they are also much more expensive.

good and heals well and quickly ... just be careful not to use too much

Self-inflicted- I was burned worse than ever (& I'm 67.) My right leg calf, my right forearm, and mostly the back of my right hand and fingers were exposed to a gasoline induced flame that I instantly knew caused damage. After putting the fire (me) out, I rushed to the shower to get cold water to stop further skin damage. In severe pain, I went to my first-aid kit and applied BurnJel to the most painful back of my hand. This helped very little and then I remember in the cabinet I had something else- it was Burn-FIX. (I keep a very well stocked kit.) Since the BurnJel wasn't doing much, I rinsed it off (which really hurt) and I applied one Burn-FIX to my calf and one to my hand wrapping each with Dynarex gauze. I really believed I was in for a long sleepless night and to my total amazement, after an hour I felt NO PAIN on my calf and hand... only pain was on the untreated areas. The Burn-FIX is a little gooey so I put down a towel to keep it from leaking to the sheets. Early morning I removed the bandages and rinsed. Now two days later and sure enough I have a lot of second degree burns- big blisters and some missing & black skin... Yes, I still feel stupid and know it could have been much worse but the Burn-FIX TOTALLY surprised me at how well it worked. As something of a medic, I grew up knowing- 1) stop the burn 2) cover with dry non-stick dressing, period... no ointments. I just ordered a bigger supply of Burn-FIX as I can assure you I will use it again God-forbid I get that stupid.

Except for not being able to discern the instructions (pretty sure English wasn't their second, third, or even eighth language), the actual product was really good. My cousin opened her radiator while it was hot. Her arm got the worst of it. These patches were her saving grace because she's a hair stylist. She said they were better than anything else she'd tried. She just wished they were bigger .
