Thermal Injuries — Burn & Cold Injury Response Gear
Burn dressings, cold-injury response supplies, and thermal-injury management gear for fire emergencies, frostbite, and heat injuries. Specialized supplies for thermal trauma — separate from standard first aid because the treatment is different.
Burn-injury supplies
- Water-Jel and burn-gel dressings for cooling and protection
- Non-adherent burn dressings for serious burns
- Burn-specific wound coverings that don't stick to damaged skin
- Cooling sheets and burn-trauma kits
Cold-injury supplies
Frostbite and hypothermia require different supplies than standard trauma: rewarming blankets, chemical heat sources, and protocols for slow, controlled rewarming (rapid rewarming causes additional tissue damage). Cold-weather kits should always include thermal-injury response gear.
Pair with the broader medical kit
Thermal-injury gear complements standard trauma supplies. See First Aid Kits for the broader category, Trauma First Aid for severe-injury gear, Cold Weather Survival for prevention gear, and Hot Hands for prevention and recovery heat sources.
Specialized injury, specialized supplies. Don't treat burns with bandages.
