Water-Jel Burn Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

Water-Jel 4 x 4 Inch Burn Dressing — Single-Site Burn Care Standard

The Water-Jel 4 x 4 inch burn dressing is the standard single-unit burn dressing for a workplace first aid cabinet or kit: one sterile, gel-soaked pad sized for a typical hand, arm, or single-site burn. It's the baseline item most safety programs stock first, before adding smaller or larger sizes for specific hazards.

The Water-Jel 4 x 4 inch burn dressing is a single sterile, water-based gel-soaked burn pad sized 4 by 4 inches, sold individually under model 6502LFA-LOG, for use as labeled first aid on minor burns.

• Sterile, individually sealed until the pouch is opened at the point of use

What pairs with the Water-Jel 4 x 4?

The Water-Jel 4 x 4 inch burn dressing sits in the middle of the Water-Jel size ladder. For finger and hand burns, pair it with the Water-Jel 2 x 6 Inch 5-Pack; for limb-length coverage, add the Water-Jel 4 x 16 Inch Sterile Burn Dressing as the escalation tier. If you'd rather buy this same size in a multi-pack, the First Aid Only Water Jel Burn Dressing 4 x 4 Inch 3-Pack is the identical dressing in a 3-count box, and the Burn-Fix Burn Gel Dressing 4 x 4 Inch 4-Pack is a lower-cost alternative brand at the same size.

What's NOT a fit: this dressing is for burns only — for cuts, abrasions, and punctures, use the general pads in bandages and wound care. It also doesn't replace eyewash for chemical eye splashes.

Once the dressing is used, reorder through first aid kit refills so the slot doesn't stay empty, and keep the packaging clean and labeled if it's staged in a shared first aid cabinet.

Water-Jel 4 x 4 vs the rest of the burn-care lineup

• Choose the 4 x 4 as your baseline stock — it covers the most common single-site burn at the lowest per-unit price.
• Choose the 2 x 6 5-pack if fingers and hands dominate your incident log — see the Water-Jel 2 x 6 Inch 5-Pack.
• Add the 4 x 16 as the reserve tier if a limb-length burn is plausible.
• See how all three tiers work together in the best burn care kits and dressings guide.
