Spenco 2nd Skin Moist Burn Pads, Medium (2 x 3 Inches), 4-Count

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.

I never had burn this deep where the air hitting the wound was painful. When I first burned my arm, I just cut a big piece of aloe plant & taped it to my arm. It was bulky & awkward but the aloe jelly stopped the burning. I purchased second skin & it was awesome. It is as thick as a gause pad but made of hydro jel. It's texture is like the inside of alow. It is soft, moist & cool. It has no adhesive, thank God. I just laid the pads next to each other until the burn was covered. I used a long sock to hold pads onto my, skin on my arm because my skin couldn't tolerate adhesive. When purchasing the new skin, I also purchased some stockenet to hold the pads on. I bought several products but they had adhesive. The pad wasn't big enough to cover wound so the adhesive was getting into the wound. OUCH! The New Skin does self adhere with it being sticky but I used the stretchy cotton stockinette to hold the pads in place then & wrapped over the whole arm with a a coban wrap to protect the arm. Great product! New Skin saved me from alot of pain.

These were quality burn gel pads they felt moist and cooling and held up as long as it wasn’t under clothing. Purpose was to protect the injured skin and it did. You would expect a higher price point when you are dealing with protection for burned skin and cooling properties to also keep the area moist .. it did the job and was appreciated so I thing the value was decent for the price. I would buy again if I needed to

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.

Love these bandages. I bought none stick bandages from the store that totally stuck to the wound. Had to sit in the tub for 45 minutes soaking the bandage off. I purchased these bandages and totally no sticking to the wound. It’s like a moist jelly that sticks on but doesn’t stick to the cut. Comes off easy. Heals good. Good protection. Good quality. The only downside is the package only comes with 4 bandages. I thought that was a little cheap. I was thinking at least 6 bandages if not 10. 4 in a package wasn’t enough to get us through the week. Especially if you need a good week an a half to heal a good skinner.

Takes the pain away quickly and speeds healing.

At first I didn't like this product, because, according to the instructions, I needed a separate piece of material to hold it in place, but when I tried it, I found the product to be very soothing, so I'm changing my original review from 1 star to 5 stars.

I’ve used this for years in the doctors office where I worked. It can be used in any open wound. I’m happy I can get it from amazon now

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 :(

Excellent

this will be great for me as i burn my skin in the sun.

This saved me after a bad second degree burn, highly recommend for everyone to keep a box in their medicine cabinet, I was also able to cut it to size

These pads are very small and much thinner than I had hoped and I do not think they will be as effective as alternative pads available on the market.
