Treatment Information
Overview
What is Compeed
Compeed Blister Plaster is a hydrocolloid dressing designed to help with blisters forming on the feet from rubbing against shoes. Blisters may form on the feet either with new shoes, shoes that don’t fit well, or after walking, hiking, or running for a long time. They form when the fabric is rubbing repeatedly on the same spot, thus damaging the skin and forming a fluid-filled bubble.
Compeed allows the wound to heal faster by absorbing the moisture that has formed, by cushioning the wound, and by protecting it and keeping it clean.
Directions
Direction of use
First, make sure that the area around the blister is as clean as possible and preferably dry. If you have applied any lotions to the area, it is best to clean or wipe them off to improve adherence of the plaster.
Choose the size that is appropriate for the area you are treating. The large plaster should be used for the back of the heel and larger blisters. Smaller plasters should be used for the toes so that these can wrap around the toe and stay in place for longer.
Remove the bottom paper, and do not touch the adhesive side of the plaster. Apply gently over the blister, ensuring complete contact with the skin around the blister. Press gently and remove the top cover.
As the plaster absorbs water, it will start to harden and turn white. Compeed Blister Plaster is waterproof and can be kept on for several days while the healing occurs. Once the white part reaches the edges of the plaster, or it starts to peel off on its own, gently remove the plaster to reveal healed skin.
