Description
Calcium Gluconate Gel, consisting of 2.5% Calcium Gluconate USP in a clear viscous, colourless and odourless water-soluble lubricant, is essential in first aid and primary treatment of hydrofluoric acid burns of the skin.
Calcium Gluconate Gel provides a source of calcium ions to replace those precipitated or immobilised by fluoride ions following a hydrofluoric acid burn. This allows healing and prevents further damage to tissue or bone.
Calcium Gluconate Gel can be used to initially treat burns, prior to seeking proper and immediate medical care. It is not recommended for burns with concentrated hydrofluoric acid, except as an initial first aid measure.
