text: I bought these a couple of years ago when my husband had surgery on his thumb. They worked really well for that, but I didn't take much notice. But a few days ago, 5 to be exact, I was boiling water in my microwave to make nectar for the hummingbirds as I have hundreds of times before, and the boiling water exploded right out of the purex bowl onto the backs of my hands! Like a dummy, I was not wearing my long silicone gloves right when I needed them (lesson learned ...again), just my finger gloves:( I've had burns before, and all are bad, but this one, especially on my right hand, is a dilly. Anyway, I needed to keep a layer of antibiotic ointment on the burn, so I've been putting that on and covering with one of these telfa pads 2-3 times a day. They don't stick at all, provide protection and ensure a moist environment for the burn to heal. Wow, I cannot believe the positive difference over these 5 days and the pad is a big part of the reason for the improvement. I highly recommend them if this sort of thing happens to you, but most of all, be careful and try not to have a reason for them :)
