Spenco 2nd Skin Moist Burn Pads, Small (1.5 x 2 Inches), 6-Count

I have used these for burns for myself and others many times. They are great for that purpose, but are useful for many other types of wound care. I have used them for people's cuts as well as for post operative wound care with stitches. The cool gel helps to relieve burns as well as relieving pain or itching related to healing. The moisture barrier becomes the scab, reduces scar tissue forming and drastically reduces healing time. I have these on a subscription because I always find a use for them!

I got this a box of this stuff as part of my "doomsday" kit after the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan. One night soon after I got this box I nuked .. err .. over nuked gravy in a bowl to pour over some meatloaf. No, this was not a planned test! I picked the bowl up, burned 3 of the fingers on my right hand while using a towel to pick it up one handed, and then dropped the white hot bowl of molten gravy which then proceeded to coat and cook all 4 finger from the first knuckle down to the fingertips on the left hand. In the meantime dummy here tried to grab the bowl again with the right fingers (bare). Wrong move. Getting splashed with molten gravy was like getting hit with boiling oil that sticks so it burned until I rinsed the stuff off. Grabbing after the nuclear gravy covered bowl wasn't too smart either. I rushed to the sink to run water over my fingers and realized that I needed to keep them cold continually because they started burning again as soon as I pulled them out of the water. This one was more than your average burn and I use a keyboard for a living so having 7 roasted fingers was not something I was looking forward to. Just then it dawned on me that I had just recently gotten this burn gel stuff and decided to give it a test. Man this stuff is great. You just apply it to the burned area and tape it in place. You don't have to keep replacing it like you have to keep re-wetting a towel or keeping your burn in ice water. The gel pads immediately stopped the burning and easily lasted 24 hours without need for replacement until I changed the bandage the next day. If I had used a wet towel I'd have been wetting it constantly all night long unless I used ice through a towel and that gets messy. After using the burn pad I did not get any blisters nor any burn markings on my fingers. This stuff works for the minor burns that hurt like he11. I don't know about real serious burns but I'm sure they'll provide excellent relief until medical attention is sought. It claims to help reduce scarring. I don't know if I got burned bad enough to tell if I'd have had scars but would imagine it would help since it is sterile and comforting. My fingers felt much better the next day as long as I kept the pad on. I had cut it up for each finger. By the 36th hour I no longer needed them and the fingers felt fine again. I can swear by these. I could even use my keyboard with the pads taped to my fingers. The pad material resembles jellyfish flesh somewhat and feels moist and cool on the application side. Its a tad over a millimeter thick. Each one comes sealed in a sterile packet. This is great to keep handy around the house. You can even add a pad or two to your emergency kit if you have one. I highly recommend you keep some on hand.

Been using these for 10+ years. They are very effective. Have them on hand. If you get a burn, put one on and feel better immediately. They work really, really well. Highly recommend. Only downside is that once you open the little packet, if you don't use the whole burn pad it dries out and you'll have to toss it. We've tried to save them with Ziploc bags, cellophane etc but they just dry out. But even if you use just part of the little pad (and have to toss the rest) it's totally worth it to get rid of the pain.

I tell everyone to get these and keep them stocked in their emergency kit(s). I think too many of us know what burns feel like, and it's not fun. Doesn't matter what you do, the pain of a burn can be awful. These things are purified water made into a gel. You peel off the plastic and the gelified water lais right on your skin and stays there. Immediate relief. Seriously. A couple months ago I burned the heck out of my finger touching one of those metal plates as a restaurant without thinking. I'm pretty sure it was a decent 2nd-degree burn. Put one of these on as SOON as I got home. Left it on for about 3 days under a band-aid. After that long it was a bit sticky, so I just ran it under cool water and it came right off. Blister was still there, so I did a new one for another few days. These things help heal faster, and are SO good for the pain. I wouldn't recommend it for a burn serious enough to need to go to urgent care, but for those small pan / oven / hot plate burns they are about the best thing ever. We keep large pads, medium, and the jar of little squares.

I picked up the Spenco 2nd Skin Moist Burn Pads for my wife after she got a minor burn, and they ended up being pretty helpful. The pads are easy to apply and feel soothing right away, which seemed to give her some quick relief from the discomfort. They don’t stick to the wound, which is great because it makes removing or changing them much less painful. The moisture they provide also helps keep the area from drying out too much while it heals. One thing to note is that these pads don’t have any adhesive, so you’ll need to use medical tape or some kind of wrap to keep them in place. It’s not a big issue, but it’s something to be aware of before using them.

The 2nd skin works great! My friend's tattoo artist provide this to him when he was getting a tattoo. It kept it hydrated and his skin didnt crack. The tattoo turned out great! I used this for an oil burn on my foot. It worked great. It was soothing and kept my burn from drying out.

These bandages take the pain out of burns, or new tattoos, pretty much instantly, and help heal quickly.

These pads are a winner for burns. Immediate soothing.

Tuve quemadas de segundo grado en el pecho, estos parches ayudaron a que no me doliera, no rozara con la ropa y se mantuviera humeda la piel. Se secan como en 4-6 horas y para removerlos puedes mojarlso de nuevo. Es como un gel. Hay que quitarlo diario y si seseca, no lo quites seco, proque levanta las ampulas. Genial para evitar roe con ropa u otra piel.

Son parches super buenos para curación de quemaduras. Mi esposo trabaja en cocina y tuvo una quemadura muy fuerte, estos parches le ayudaron a quitarle la sensación de ardor en la herida. El único punto en contra es que no tienen adherencia, así que hay que usarlos solo cuando estás reposando :(

I had two very painful road-rash wounds from sliding out on my road bike. Prior to 2nd skin, I tried applying medical manuka honey & wound spray, but it did not come close to the instant relief of 2nd skin! I would clean the wounds each morning apply a spritz of Nexcare wound spray, let it dry, then apply 2nd skin and a bandage to protect it all day. This dramatically helped the healing process. Within 5 days, both wounds were healed to the point where I didn’t require bandages. I highly recommend!!

Excellent

傷の水分をとってくれて早く治りました。治療効果はバッチリです。 しかし、コスパが悪い。 4枚で3000円超えは高いです。
