Burns Kit

Burns Kit

The Burns Kit is an essential component of any maritime medical provision, offering immediate care for burn injuries that may occur onboard. Designed to meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, this kit ensures rapid cooling, pain relief, and effective wound management, thereby minimising the risk of infection and promoting optimal recovery. Housed in a durable, high-visibility case, it allows for quick access during emergencies, making it indispensable for vessels operating in environments where burn hazards are present.

Suitable for

  • MCA Category A, B, and C vessels
  • Vessels with galleys, engine rooms, or other areas with burn risks
  • Yachts and commercial ships operating in remote regions with limited access to immediate medical care
  • Vessels seeking compliance with HSE burn treatment standards

Kit Contents

  • CoolTherm dressings for rapid cooling and pain alleviation
  • CoolTherm gel to prevent further tissue damage
  • Various sizes of burn dressings to accommodate different injury severities
  • Emergency burn treatment supplies for comprehensive care
