Why Is This Important?
A burn represents a bacterial infection and damaged skin cells. BurnDr is a proprietary oil made up of monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides designed to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and heal damaged skin cells.

Harmful Bacteria Associated with Burns
BurnDr is the only topical burn treatment specifically developed for relieving pain, killing harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation, and rapidly increasing heal time.
The chart below reflects the range of bacteria isolated from burn wounds identified through numerous studies. Staphylococci aureus, Proteus mirabilis and streptococci were the commonest isolates. The other Gram negatives were P.aeruginosa (4.5%). Salmonella, E. coli and Klebsiella spp.

>99.999% Reduction Rate
Independent laboratory tests were conducted on Staphylococci, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Proteus Mirabilis (gram negative bacilli), and Streptococci. Certified test results conclude a 99.999% kill rate of the bacteria.
- These test results represent 80% of bacteria isolated from burn wounds identified through the studies.
