Human Factors

Water-Jel sterile Burn Dressings relieve the pain, cool the burn and protect against airborne contamination in one simple step, with no special training required. Using the same gel technology used in our Fire Blankets, these dressings consists of a medical grade, non-woven polyester carrier and are available in five convenient sizes. Because the gel is water based and water soluble, the dressings won't stick to the wound and the gel can be easily rinsed away.


Another good Human Factors Company is CCD, an Ergonomics Society Registered Company. Their Psoture Assessment division uses tools such as RIBA, and RULA and they are also leaders in SAMMIE. Check their website at http://www.ccd.org.uk/posture_assessment.php.

More companies should focus on Medical Dressing procedures in the most optimal way.
