Full details
This Compeed Blister Treatment is designed for individuals experiencing blisters, offering immediate relief and protection.

FAQs
How long can I wear a Compeed Blister Plaster?
Compeed Blister Plasters are designed to stay in place for extended periods, often several days. They should be left on until they begin to lift or detach on their own.
Can I shower or swim with the plaster on?
Yes, Compeed Blister Plasters are waterproof, allowing you to shower and swim without compromising their protective and healing properties.
What is hydrocolloid technology?
Hydrocolloid technology uses a gel-forming material that creates a moist environment ideal for healing. It also forms a protective cushion over the blister.
When should I NOT use a Compeed Blister Plaster?
Do not use on open, infected wounds, or on very deep blisters. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Can I put a Compeed plaster over a popped blister?
Yes, you can apply it over a popped blister to protect it and aid healing, provided the blister is not infected.
How do I remove the plaster if it's stuck?
To remove a stubborn plaster, gently soak the area in warm water to help loosen the adhesive before slowly peeling it off.
Does the plaster prevent infection?
The waterproof and breathable nature of the plaster helps to create a barrier against dirt and bacteria, thus protecting the blister from external contamination.
Troubleshooting
Plaster not adhering well
Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions before application. Warm the plaster in your hands before applying.
Difficulty removing the plaster
Gently soak the plaster in warm water for a few minutes to soften the adhesive before attempting to remove it slowly.
Blister area becomes more painful
The plaster is designed to relieve pain; if pain increases, remove the plaster and assess the blister. Ensure it's not infected and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
Plaster detaches prematurely
Ensure the plaster is applied smoothly without wrinkles and that the surrounding skin is dry. Avoid stretching the plaster during application.
