Compeed 5 Mixed Size Blister Plasters

Product Information

If you exercise regularly, you may have noticed that intensive workouts can make you more prone to blistering. This is due to the excessive friction caused when you move, and Compeed® has the ideal solution. As soon as you start shopping for blister plasters, you're likely to come across these heel plasters from Compeed® and it makes sense — they're a staple for any blister sufferer! There are certainly no complaints when it comes to functionality. Cold sore recurrences are very common. The virus stays in the ganglia in an inactive, or latent, form. During this time the virus does not replicate. It stays in this latent form for varying amounts of time. Certain triggers may cause the virus to travel down the nerve to the skin and cause symptoms to reappear. This is known as a recurrence. Blisters: to prevent blisters, if you wear new shoes, play sports, haven’t worn shoes in a while or stand all day long. Deroofed heel blisters, like those above, can heal faster with a sterile hydrocolloid dressing. Here's how.

Can Compeed plasters be used by consumers who have suffered a stroke or have similar circulatory problems? I recommend Fixomull Stretch or a similar fixation tape around the circumference of a hydrocolloid dressing. Leave the majority of the dressing area visible – we need to visualise the degree of weepiness to determine when to change the dressing. This is good wound care practice. Plus, hydrocolloid dresings allow wound gasses to evaporate through the dressing (whilst being waterproof from the outside).Although blisters can be a painful annoyance and make your life miserable, in most cases they won’t lead to medical issues. However, here are reasons why you should seek medical advice: If your blister doesn't have a roof, you will likely have noticed a red, weeping sore beneath the skin. These can be painful and are at risk of infection, so it's important to apply a protective dressing. Once you have cleaned your wound and the surrounding area, you can apply a blister plaster to this type of wound to act as an artificial blister roof and encourage your skin to heal in a protected environment. Good question! Hydrocolloids can be left on for a few days, or even a week. It all depends on how weepy the wound is. It can take a bit of practice to get this right. Nearly 80% of the adult population has the virus, but only 20% experience outbreaks. These can be triggered by several factors including:

These are deroofed blisters. This is the type of blister that you can use a hydrocolloid dressing on. Faster Healing! Though cold sore outbreaks can’t be prevented, the following may minimise spread of cold sores and reduce the frequency of outbreaks:Your blister is very large and deep - In this case, it's no longer a blister, it's an erosion. See your doctor or wound care professional. Blisters develop as a result of repeated friction and rubbing, often from tight or ill-fitting shoes. How to treat blisters? Your skin is bleeding - This isn't a blister either, it's a deeper injury. Use a simple island dressing instead. Conversely, if your deroofed blister is dry and on its way to healing already, if it's dry or got a scab over it, a hydrocolloid should not be used. The wound must be somewhat weepy for a hydrocolloid dressing to be an option. If it's dry already, use an island dressing simply for protection.

A: Grab one end and pull it parallel with the skin surface - like it’s an elastic band and you’re trying to stretch it out as long as it can get. It sounds clever, but how does it actually work? Blister plasters are hydrocolloid and have two layers. The inner material absorbs the excess fluid and forms a gel over the wound. This retains any moisture which may have gathered and a white bubble develops. When the bubble is visible from the outside, it means the blister is healing. The outer layer forms a seal or ‘second skin’ to protect the blister from bacteria and dirt. It is soft, comfortable and breathable. In addition, the moist and insulated environment allows the body’s own enzymes to heal the wound naturally. Friction blisters: This is the most common and basic form of blisters. They are typically caused by irritation from continuous rubbing or pressure. Friction blisters usually occur on the feet, for example if your footwear doesn’t fit quite right and irritates the delicate skin of toes and heels for prolonged periods of time. Likewise, if you are using tools such as a rake or a shovel with no gloves on, the handle that keeps rubbing against your hand might cause a blister. During this healing process, the fluid present in the blister is reabsorbed by the underlying tissue and swelling subsides. Hydrocolloid blister plasters, like Compeed, Duoderm and our own BlisterPod brand, are used to speed up the healing of raw, mildly weepy skin wounds - like deroofed blisters. But how exactly do you use them to maximum effect? This article walks you through some of the finer details of hydrocolloid usage for foot blisters.Blisters are most commonly found on the feet, but they can vary in size depending on the exact area. A large, round plaster is best for a blister on your heel, as they usually have specially designed curves and contours to wrap around this part of your foot. Of course, if your blister base does not seem to be healing, you suspect it is infected, you're just not sure how to care for your blister or you have a health condition, seek medical advice from your doctor. Personally, my worst blister treatment experiences of all time have been removing this partially metamorphosed Compeed from badly blistered feet. The hydrocolloid plaster technology of Compeed ® plasters help protect and/or relieve your wound, corn or callus at all stages of development :

The blister looks infected, it is draining pus, or the area around the blister is red, swollen, warm, or very painful
