| Hi;
My name is Greg Lipka, I am sending you this e-mail to express
my absolute awe for your Burnaid product.
Yesterday afternoon my 2 year old son has tipped a kettle
of boiling water over his legs, my wife rang me at work and
described the burns as follows:
* (R) leg was an intense red colour all the way from just
bellow the groin to the toes.
* (L) leg was an intense red colour from just bellow the
knee to the toes.
I have talked my wife through the first aid on the phone
while expediting my way home, cool with cold running water
for at least ten minutes than apply the Burnaid dressing
over the whole burn area and retain with a bandage.
I got home about 25 minutes after my wife has applied the
initial dressing, so I have redressed the burns at this stage
they were:
* (R) leg was bright pink colour all the way from just bellow
the groin to the toes with an intense red area about 9X4
cm around his ankle and a small red area 0.5X0.5 cm just
above his knee.
* (L) leg was pale pink colour from just bellow the knee
to the toes with an intense red area 4X3 cm around his ankle.
My wife and I got our son to the emergency department in
the local hospital about further 30 minutes after that, during
this time we kept the bandages cool with "Cool
IT" aerosol spray, to the hospitals credit this was
the first time we received immediate medical attention from
a public health provider.
The triage nurse has questioned us about what we dressed
the wound with and become very concerned when we told her
about Burnaid dressing as she has never heard of this before.
Couple of ambulance officers, that were in the emergency
delivering a patient stumbled into the room to assist, as
you can imagine a 2 year old screaming at the top of his
lungs with both legs bandaged up commands a lot of attention.
They became very concerned when told about the Burnaid dressing
as they have never heard about the product before.
The triage nurse with the help of the ambos, undid the bandages
and lifted the Burnaid dressing initially they thought were
playing a practical joke on them as they couldn't't't see
any evidence of a burn. Only after revealing the blister
around my sons (R) leg they became convinced that there was
an actual burn.
After looking at each other they put the dressing straight
back on and bandaged him up again.
After again describing the initial extent of the burns the
following comments were received from the medicos:
*The Nurse - "Incredible, I've never seen this stuff
before, this is great"
*The Ambos - " Sh** mate, you've got better stuff at
home than what we use"
By the time a doctor came to examine the burns and removed
the dressing the burns looked like this:
* (R) leg was a natural skin colour with an excetion of
a small blister above the knee and a 9X4 cm blister around
his ankle with the top layer of the skin on the blister starting
to peel.
* (L) leg was a natural colour with the exception of a 4X3
cm blister around his ankle which showed no evidence of peeling.
All the medical staff were in agreement thet through the
combination of effective cooling and the use of the Burnaid
dressing my son made an increadible recovery, and without
the above considering the large areas of body involved he
would be in agonising pain and certainly hospitalised. As
it stands he was released to go home
couple of hours later and reffered to the burns unit at Weastmead
for a check up this morning as a precaution.
I cannot find enough words of praise and appreciation for
your product, the Burnaid dressing has saved my son from
a hospital stay and extreame pain, any parrent will understand
the gratitude I feel for that.
My only concern is the lack of knowledge about the product
within the medical community. Please get out there, tell
people about it, market it so more people can be helped by
its use.
Please pass this e-mail to appropriate people.
Once again a big thank you and thank you for a great product.
Best Regards;
Greg Lipka |
