Conventional hot water bottles can be dangerous. The Vaermflasche is the safe alternative
At first glance, a classic hot water bottle seems harmless. Yet every year in Germany there are thousands of accidents caused by leaking, overly hot water or porous rubber. Children are particularly at risk. And the risk is very easy to avoid. With modern, safe warmth like the Vaermflasche.
First aid for burns
If a burn or scald occurs, every minute counts. Acting quickly and correctly can prevent worse.
Step-by-step guide for burns
1. Cool
Cool the affected area immediately with cool, running water. For about 10 to 20 minutes. Don't use ice or ice-cold water, to avoid additional skin damage. Only cool the burnt area, so that hypothermia doesn't occur.
2. Cover
Loosely cover the affected skin with a sterile compress or cling film. This keeps it clean and protected. The film must not wrap tightly around the wound.
3. Observe and act
If blisters form, the pain is severe or a larger area is affected, seek medical help. For children, seeing a doctor is important even for smaller burns.
4. Recognise shock
Watch out for signs such as paleness, trembling or nausea. In such cases, call the emergency number 112 immediately. Keep the affected person warm and stay with them.
Why burns happen so often
According to Paulinchen e. V., around 30,000 children are treated for burns or scalds in Germany every year. In more than half of the cases, hot liquids or bursting hot water bottles are the cause. Even a cup of hot tea can cause serious injuries in children.
Many of these accidents happen because the water poured in is too hot or the hot water bottle starts to leak. Almost 100 % of scalds could be avoided if safer, pre-filled products were used.
