Quick Relief for Home Burn Accidents: STO Launches Burnshield in Maldives

In a move aimed at making homes safer and first aid more accessible, STO Healthcare Solutions has introduced Burnshield, the internationally renowned South African brand for burn care, to the Maldivian market. The launch provides households with immediate solutions for minor burn injuries, turning everyday accidents into manageable incidents.

Burnshield products are formulated with natural ingredients such as Tea Tree Oil, known for its antibacterial and healing properties, and hydrogel, a water-based, hypoallergenic substance that cools the skin, reduces pain, and protects against further damage. The products are safe for use on children, highlighting their suitability for home use as an essential safety measure.

Designed for quick response to minor injuries—such as burns from cooking, ironing, or handling hot surfaces—Burnshield products provide instant cooling and protection, helping reduce discomfort and the risk of infection. Their user-friendly design ensures anyone can apply them easily, making immediate care possible before professional medical attention is available.

The Burnshield range now available in the Maldives includes:

• Burn Blott – a hydrogel dressing that cools and protects affected areas;
• Hydrogel Spray Bottle – for quick application on minor burns and scalds;
• Limb/Neck Dressing – pre-soaked hydrogel bandages for easy use; and
• Deluxe and Mini Burn Kits – comprehensive kits containing hydrogel foams and dressings for immediate first aid.

According to STO Healthcare Solutions, the availability of Burnshield products ensures households, workplaces, and healthcare institutions are better equipped to respond quickly to minor burn injuries, potentially preventing complications and promoting faster recovery.

All Burnshield products are now available at STO pharmacies nationwide, providing Maldivians with trusted, high-quality solutions for everyday safety and first aid readiness.
