Hatzolah Israel now supplies all its countrywide volunteers with BurnShield
gel-moistened bandages. This is the most advanced emergency care burn treatment
available and up to now was not available for emergency services in Israel.
This special burn dressing reduces healing time, lessens pain, stops damage to
the skin, and reduces the need for skin grafting. Each kit costs approximately
$225 (1,000 shekels), making the entire project cost close to one million
shekels.
