Product Information
Full details
Compeed Medium Blister Plasters are designed for hikers, athletes, and anyone prone to footwear-induced friction, providing an immediate buffer against pain while facilitating natural recovery. By utilizing advanced hydrocolloid technology, these plasters act as a second skin to seal the affected area from water, dirt, and bacteria, though they must be applied to clean, dry skin to ensure maximum adhesion for long-term wear.

FAQs
Can I use these on open blisters?
Yes, they provide a sterile, protective barrier. However, if the area shows signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus, consult a medical professional.
How long should I leave the plaster on?
Leave it on until it begins to peel away at the edges on its own, which usually indicates the blister has healed.
Are these plasters latex-free?
Compeed plasters are designed to be hypoallergenic; please check the specific packaging for the most current material ingredients if you have severe sensitivities.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, once applied and smoothed down, they will not roll up when putting on socks or shoes.
Will it work if my feet are sweaty?
Excessive moisture will reduce the adhesive life. Ensure the skin is thoroughly dried before application to get the best hold.
Troubleshooting
Plaster peeling off at the edges
Ensure the skin is completely dry and free of oils or lotions before application. Warm the plaster in your hands for 60 seconds to activate the adhesive.
Difficulty removing the plaster
Do not pull vertically. Gently stretch the edges of the plaster parallel to the skin to break the adhesive bond, or soak the area in warm water first.
White bubble forming under the plaster
This is normal. The hydrocolloid is absorbing moisture from the blister to aid healing; leave the plaster in place until it starts to detach naturally.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the affected area to remove any dirt or oils, then dry the skin completely. Warm the plaster between your hands for a minute before application to improve adhesion. Peel away the backing, place the plaster directly over the blister, and smooth down the edges firmly. Avoid touching the adhesive side during application. Do not remove the plaster prematurely; allow it to loosen on its own as the wound heals. To remove, stretch the plaster horizontally along the skin rather than pulling it upwards to prevent irritation.
