An exciting new look is coming soon to the Waterjel™ product line!

For more than 40 years, Waterjel has earned the trust of professionals and consumers by delivering dependable emergency burn care products – and we’re just getting started. Safeguard Medical is introducing refreshed Waterjel branding and packaging to make products easier to identify and create a more consistent look across the portfolio. Only the packaging is changing—the product, formulation, quality, and performance remain the same. No action is required on your part, and you can continue to use the products as directed. 

The refreshed packaging is rolling out now, and we’re committed to making this transition as seamless as possible for our customers. Utilize the resources below to understand what to expect during this exciting
transition. 

Waterjel Rebranding Frequently Asked Questions

What is changing in the Waterjel Product Line?

As part of our ongoing investment and emphasis into our flagship product line for burn, Safeguard Medical is introducing refreshed branding and updated packaging for the majority of the Waterjel product line. Branding and packaging for all Responder dressings and blankets, as well as the
Burn Jel line are being updated. Please note, packaging for Military dressings is not changing in color or design, but over time, will be updated to reflect the new logo. 
Why is Branding being updated?

The new packaging is designed to enhance shelf presence, improve product identification, and create a more cohesive brand experience across the entire Waterjel portfolio, while also better aligning with Safeguard Medical’s RAMPART™ Color Coded Trauma System.
Is the formulation of the product changing?

No. While the look is evolving, the high-quality product and performance you and your customers rely on remain exactly the same. Dressings and blankets are made with our gel formula of 96% purified water and Hyaluronic Acid that soothes without ever having to rewet the injury, and do not contain Tea Tree Oil. 
When will I begin seeing the new branding?

You will begin seeing the updated packaging in upcoming
shipments as we transition through existing inventory. You can track the
progress of our branding transition here.
Will there be cases in which one order will contain products with a mix of legacy and new branding?
What happens if I don’t want to receive a kit with mixed branding?

All orders will ship as they are processed. Customers who do not want to receive a kit
with mixed branding should notify Customer Service in advance of placing an order. These orders will then be placed on backorder until the branding is complete across the entire product line. 
When will the new branding be complete?

We expect all packaging updates to be complete and ready to ship by early February. You can track the progress of our branding transition here.

I am a former US Marine. I was riding my dirt-bike off-road when I experienced a crash. While trying to squirm out from underneath the bike, my leg sustained second degree burns from the searing-hot muffler. It was extremely painful. Thankfully, I had my IFAK with me and in it, was one of your Waterjel burn dressings. After finally getting my legs free, I was able to immediately soothe the [burn]. I mean IMMEDIATELY…I am very impressed by your product. After dressing the wound, I was able to ride back to the safety of my home.

We began using Waterjel Burn Dressings in our Emergency Department in May 2009. We recently had a patient who spilled boiling hot water on her back after tipping a pot when she stood up in front of the stove. She drove herself to the hospital in intense pain. We immediately used a Waterjel Burn Wrap. We noticed the patient immediately felt a tremendous sense of relief. The Burn Wrap had instantly cooled the burn.

My oldest daughter came to visit and was taking a hot dish out of the oven. The dish slipped and the piping hot food splashed across her hand, causing a very painful burn. I quickly tore a package open, applied it to her hand, and left the dressing on for close to an hour. Not only did it give her instant cooling relief, but the burn didn't even blister!! I was utterly amazed!  As hot as the dish was, I would have expected a second degree burn!!

I was the Industrial Nurse at a food processing plant. I purchased and used Waterjel dressings for some of the burn injuries that I treated in the Plant's Medical/Emergency Department. I was amazed at how well they worked. I was so impressed that I purchased some of the small dressings to have on hand at home.
