READY-MADE SOLUTION FOR DERMAL HYDROFLUORIC ACID BURNS
Calgonate is an effective 2.5% topical calcium gluconate gel that is used for dermal hydrofluoric acid (HF) burns. Calcium gluconate combines with hydrofluoric acid to neutralize the powerful fluoride ion. The immediate use of calcium gluconate gel has been known to be extremely beneficial in reducing burn damage to bone and deep tissue, and helps relieve pain almost immediately. It is highly recommended to rinse the affected area with water for 5 minutes to remove hydrofluoric acid residue and subsequently to apply Calgonate freely to the affected areas, continuously massaging it into the skin every 15 minutes.
