Most burns in Australian kitchens, homes, and workplaces are not large-area burns — they are hands, forearms, feet, and smaller surface areas from hot oil splashes, kettle spills, oven contact, and hot tool surfaces. The 20x20cm Polyethylene Burn Sheet is sized for those burns — compact enough to carry in a kitchen drawer, glovebox, or standard first aid kit, and large enough to cover the wound areas where most everyday burns actually occur.

Applied after the 20-minute cool running water step, the sterile non-adherent sheet creates a clean, low-friction barrier that protects the burn site from contamination, friction, and further exposure during treatment or transport. Can be trimmed with sterile scissors for smaller wound areas without compromising effectiveness. Read the correct burn first aid sequence — the burn sheet is the coverage step after cooling is complete.

• 20x20cm — sized for hands, forearms, feet, and minor burn areas The most common burn locations in Australian homes and workplaces are hands and forearms — hot oil, steam, oven surfaces, and hot tools. The 20x20cm format provides adequate coverage for these locations without the excess of a larger sheet. Compact enough for a kitchen drawer, glovebox, standard first aid kit, or home medicine cabinet — the correct size to have accessible where minor burns are most likely to happen.

• Sterile, non-adherent polyethylene — protects without sticking The polyethylene surface does not bond to the burn wound — critical for a wound where adhering material causes additional pain and tissue damage on removal. Sterile sealed packaging confirms the sheet is uncontaminated at the point of application. Low-friction surface minimises contact trauma when the patient moves the injured area during transport or treatment.
• Can be trimmed to size — flexible coverage for irregular wound areas The sheet can be cut with sterile scissors to fit smaller or irregular burn areas without compromising effectiveness. This flexibility makes the 20x20cm format practical across a range of minor burn presentations — finger burns, palm burns, and localised contact burns that do not require full sheet coverage.
• Flat-packed, individually sterile sealed — suited to kitchens, vehicles, and home kits Flat-packed for compact storage in any location where minor burns are a realistic risk — commercial and home kitchens, vehicle gloveboxes, workshop first aid kits, camping packs, and standard home first aid kits. Applied after the 20-minute water cooling step — not instead of it. For serious burns, call 000. Ships from Dubbo, NSW within 2 business days.
