A pure wool burn sheet is a sterile covering made from new woven wool that has been impregnated with a wound gel, such as hydrogel, to manage large or extensive burns. It is applied directly over the burn wound to protect against infection, reduce pain and further tissue damage, maintain a moist and cool environment, and help prevent the burn from worsening.
This device is intended for single-use only and is commonly used by emergency medical services and in critical care settings, though it may also be used in home care under appropriate guidance. It is supplied in various sizes, ranging from towel-like sheets to full blanket dimensions, and can additionally be used to smother small flames in emergency situations.
