ABSTRACT:
A first aid package for emergency use in the field for treating and transporting seriously burned patients. The first aid package comprises a soft resilient water absorbent foam material placed on a flexible waterproof outer covering having a pair of interlocking portions. A sterile sheet is placed over the resilient foam material and the sheet and the foam are saturated with an aqueous solution. The burn patient is placed on the sterile sheet and completely covered by the sterile sheet thereby enclosing the patient in a sterile atmosphere. An aqueous solution is then poured over the sheet so as to completely saturate the sheet and the uppermost portion of the patient. The cooperating interlocking portions of the flexible waterproof covering are placed completely around the sheet and the patient and locked into position thereby maintaining the patient in a sterile moist atmosphere. Openings are provided in the waterproof covering to provide access to the patient's arms and legs for intravenous blood transfusions should that be necessary. A pair of flexible straps located on each side of the waterproof outer covering provide the means for transporting the patient while in the sterile and moist protective cocoon environment.
