Depending upon the severity and percentage of the body burned, 2nd and 3rd degree burns are often treated with dry sterile dressings/sheeting. The use of BURN DRESSINGs for substantial (in terms of body surface area) 2nd and 3rd degree burns may be contraindicated, as they may induce hypothermia due to the body’s decreased ability to thremoregulate.
