How do Koolaburn dressings work?
Koolaburn dressings are made from 96% water so they feel cool at room temperature. It is the same concept as putting your hand in a bucket of water that has been sitting out. But, Koolaburn dressings are sterile so there is not the possibility of contamination as with the use of water. As the bandage absorbs the heat from the burn, the water in the gel begins to warm up. This warming effect causes the water in the gel to evaporate, effectively taking the heat away from the burn.
