Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pads, Medical, 5-Count

Product Information

A common and painful annoyance among runners, walkers, hikers, and other athletes, foot blisters are usually caused by wearing too-tight shoes or wet footwear. Blister bandages can be used to cover the fluid-filled sacs, reducing the pain so you can keep walking or running. They also serve as a protective barrier around the skin by sealing out water, dirt, and germs that can cause infection. It’s important to avoid bursting the blister. This could lead to an infection or slow down the healing process. It’s a good thing you have some ‘dispensable’ layers so that the abrasion injury doesn’t become quite serious. To find the best blister bandages, we first spoke with Patricia M. O'Donnell, DPM, a podiatrist at Northwestern Medicine Regional Medical Group in Naperville, Illinois, and Pamela Mehta, MD, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a medical advisor to The Good Feet Store. They helped us learn how to prevent and treat blisters, as well as what to look for in a soothing, effective blister bandage.

Specifically designed to help protect the skin from blisters, the 2nd Skin blister kit features moist pads, which prevent pressure, friction and blisters. The adhesive knit helps to hold the moist pads in place, while the pressure pads protect 'hot spots' on the skin. Bachier M, Hammond SE, Williams R, Jancelewicz T, Feliz A.
