Compeed 5 Mixed Size Blister Plasters

Product Information

The main message I'd like you to take away from this article is to only use a hydrocolloid dressing on deroofed blisters. But there are a couple of other things you need to know to get the most out of using hydrocolloids. Watch the video or read about real-world situations where things have gone wrong. That way, you'll avoid the mistakes others have made. The only thing was, she was leaving the next day. So she promised to take photos and send them to me. She did a great job. Her photos clearly show how the hydrocolloid white bubble forms so you can see this is completely normal. The range of COMPEED ® Blister plasters offer a wide variety of specialist solutions to help prevent blister development or speed up the healing process of a range of sizes and shapes of blisters. They contain an active hydrocolloid gel technology that, in addition to providing cushioning, will give you instant pain relief and create a protective environment for the blister to heal. In clinical studies, COMPEED ® blister plasters have been demonstrated to provide instant pain relief and extra cushioning. They have also been shown to heal 20% faster than regular plasters. If your deroofed blister is very weepy, don't use a hydrocolloid straight away. If you do, you'll be having to change it too often for it to have an effect. Rather than changing your hydrocolloid twice a day, instead, use an island dressing at the start. Change it frequently until the weepiness abates. Then start with your hydrocolloid.

Depending on variations in the individual body’s defence mechanisms a cold sore outbreak sometimes can be more severe in comparison to how the outbreak usually appears in that individual. This can happen independently from the applied treatment. The area of the lesion may be bigger with more blisters developing and/or several foci may develop in different areas by degrees, often accompanied with increased pain. If you often wear high-heeled shoes, then chances are you're no stranger to blisters on your heels. Sometimes it feels like you have to choose between fashion or comfort, but that doesn't have to be the case! If you know the triggers for your cold sore, try to minimise your exposure. For example you can apply lip balms with SPF if your cold sores are triggered by extreme weather. Cold sores: the Compeed ® discreet patch treats cold sores throughout all stages of development to facilitate healing and resolution. Blisters: to prevent blisters, if you wear new shoes, play sports, haven’t worn shoes in a while or stand all day long.

If you are using regular plasters, they need to be changed when they are visibly soiled with blister fluids, dirt or water from the environment (eg: showering, rain, etc). Depending on many factors, you may need to change your plaster anywhere between every hour to once a day. On the other hand, hydrocolloid blister plasters, such as those of the COMPEED ® Blister range, do not usually need to be changed. 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.

Can Compeed plasters be used by consumers who have suffered a stroke or have similar circulatory problems? They are formed as the top layer of skin tears away from the tissues below, plasma-like fluid leaks from the cells and begins to fill the gap, cushioning the tissue from further damage. Blisters: at the first signs of irritation or blister formation, the Compeed ® blister plaster will help relieve the pain due to friction thanks to its cushioning effect.

The first thing you’ll need to do is to identify which stage your blister is at. Take a close look at your blister roof. Is it intact, torn or de-roofed? These are deroofed blisters. This is the type of blister that you can use a hydrocolloid dressing on. Faster Healing!
