Understanding Second-Degree Burns
Imagine a kitchen accident where a child spills hot soup on their arm. Immediate cooling, gentle cleaning, and a protective dressing are crucial. Using high-quality, non-stick dressings, like CEEPORT’s Wound Dressings for 2nd-Degree Burns, helps protect the burn, reduce pain during dressing changes, and support faster, safer healing.
Second-degree burns, also called partial-thickness burns, affect both the epidermis (outer skin layer) and dermis (underlying layer). These burns often appear red, swollen, and blistered, and can cause significant pain and sensitivity. They may result from hot liquids, flames, chemical exposure, or prolonged contact with hot surfaces.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, immediate first aid involves cooling the burn with cool—not ice-cold—water for 10–20 minutes, gently cleaning the wound, and covering it with a clean, non-adherent dressing to prevent infection (source).
Clinical studies indicate that proper burn wound care can reduce healing time by up to 25–30% for second-degree burns while significantly lowering the risk of infection and scarring (UpToDate, 2023).

3. Secure the Dressing: Use sterile gauze or medical tape to hold the dressing in place without applying pressure.
