Compeed Blister Hydrocolloid Plasters are designed for individuals experiencing discomfort from blisters. They offer instant pain relief and create optimal conditions for healing through their unique Hydro Cure system, which absorbs moisture to form a protective cushion. These plasters are specifically formulated for blister care, providing a targeted and effective approach to promoting recovery. Each pack contains 5 medium-sized plasters.
Hydro Cure System: Utilizes advanced hydrocolloid technology to absorb excess moisture from the blister.
Instant Pain Relief: Forms a protective layer that cushions the blister, immediately reducing pressure and discomfort.
Optimal Healing Environment: Creates a moist wound healing environment, which is proven to accelerate the natural healing process.
Protective Cushion: Acts as a second skin, shielding the blister from friction, dirt, and bacteria.
Secure Adhesion: Designed to stay in place for several days, providing continuous protection and healing.
Waterproof Design: Allows for showering and bathing without compromising effectiveness.
Medium Size: Specifically shaped and sized for common blister locations, often on the feet.
Rapid Pain Relief: Users often experience immediate reduction in discomfort upon application.
Effective Healing: The moist healing environment significantly aids in faster blister recovery.
Long-Lasting: Stays on for multiple days, providing continuous protection and reducing the need for frequent changes.
Waterproof Protection: Allows normal activities like showering without affecting plaster integrity.
Reduces Friction: Creates a barrier that prevents further aggravation of the blister.
Adhesion Sensitivity: May not stick as effectively on oily or excessively sweaty skin if not properly cleaned and dried.
Visibility: Can be noticeable, especially if applied on exposed parts of the body.
Single Use: Each plaster is for one-time use, and removal requires replacement.
Size Limitation: The 'medium' size might not be suitable for very large or unusually shaped blisters.

Compeed Blister Hydrocolloid plasters perform by leveraging their unique Hydro Cure system. When applied to a blister, the hydrocolloid material in the plaster absorbs the fluid (exudate) from the wound. This absorption process creates a soft, gel-like cushion over the blister. This cushion serves multiple purposes:
Pain Reduction: The gel cushion instantly redistributes pressure away from the blister, providing significant relief from pain and discomfort caused by friction or pressure.
Protection: It forms a protective barrier against external elements like dirt, bacteria, and further friction from shoes or clothing, preventing infection and exacerbation of the blister.
Optimal Healing: By maintaining a moist environment, the plaster supports the body's natural healing mechanisms. This moist condition prevents scab formation, which can hinder healing, and promotes the growth of new tissue.
Real-World Application Examples:
New Shoes: Apply at the first sign of rubbing or a developing hotspot when breaking in new footwear to prevent a blister from forming or to treat an existing one.
Hiking & Sports: Ideal for athletes or hikers to protect feet during long walks, runs, or intense physical activity where friction is common.
Everyday Blisters: Use on any part of the body (e.g., heels, toes, fingers) where blisters occur due to repetitive motion or pressure.
The plaster typically stays on until it starts to loosen naturally, which can be several days. It's designed to adapt to skin movements, providing comfort and protection throughout its wear time.
Clean & Dry: Ensure the skin around the blister is clean, dry, and free from creams or oils. This is crucial for optimal adhesion.
Prepare Plaster: Remove the top protective paper, being careful to avoid touching the adhesive side.
Apply Carefully: Center the plaster directly over the blister. Do not stretch the plaster.
Smooth Edges: Press down firmly on the edges of the plaster for good adhesion.
Warm It Up: You can warm the plaster gently with your hands after application to help it conform better to the skin.
Blister Types: Suitable for various types of blisters, including those caused by friction, burns (minor), or pressure.
Skin Types: Generally compatible with most skin types, but always ensure skin is clean and dry before application.
Body Areas: The medium size is versatile, commonly used on heels, toes, and fingers, but can be applied wherever a blister occurs and the plaster can fit smoothly.
Duration: The plaster will typically stay in place for several days, often until it begins to peel off naturally. Only remove it when it starts to lift.
Monitoring: You might notice a white bubble forming under the plaster; this indicates the hydrocolloid is working by absorbing fluid.
Gentle Removal: To remove, gently stretch the plaster along the skin (rather than peeling it straight up) to minimize discomfort and avoid tearing fragile skin. If it's difficult to remove, try soaking the area in warm water first.
Replacement: Replace the plaster with a new one if it comes off prematurely or if the blister requires continued protection and healing.
