Fantastic for burns, with instant relief. A must for first aid boxes.
Having been told by a pharmacist, quite a while ago, that these are great for burns. My wife as a nurse, was eager to prove their worth.So she could pass on, about this great product. So, when the next burn came, she cut a square-always cut from sealed square, as this keeps germs at bay. Then peel back one side, place on burn, and peel off the top covering. These are fantastic for burns. We all know how sore burns can be. yet, place this on it, as soon as you suffer a burn, and in seconds, the pain goes. HOW we missed it, in our first aid box, for a time. because it cost too much, for one single square.. But, thanks to Amazon, I can again get it, and its a great price. A must for every first aid box! Arrived in great time too. P.A.W.

Speedy delivery. Good product for open wounds.
A great product for weeping wounds...antiseptic and doesn't stick to the wound area. Has made a considerable improvement to my leg wound in 4 days. Speedy delivery too. I notice this Smith&Nephew product is now made in China. Was made in Hull in the 80s when I worked at S&N , Quality control on Bactigras. That's how I knew the product and that'd work for me. Good value, long shelf life...best to keep some in stock.

A first aid box essential.
Superb product for injuries where simple plasters will not do. Especially good for burns, burst blisters and for more unusual situations like leg ulcers. Most chemists don't stock these, so being able to get them from Amazon is great. Everyone should have these in their first aid kits. Remember, you will need a dressing bandage to put on top.
