Compeed 5 Mixed Size Blister Plasters

Product Information

The Hydrocolloid-075 technology is an active gel that acts like a second skin. It seals your cold sore, allowing acceleration of your body’s natural healing mechanism. the blister looks infected, it is draining pus, or the area around the blister is red, swollen, warm, or very painful;

The plaster contains hydrocolloid particles. These hydrocolloid particles are distributed throughout the plaster and absorb fluid from the wound (exudate). They help maintain an optimal moisture level to facilitate healing. During treatment, the hydrocolloid particles swell which creates a cushioning effect, redistributing pressure and providing instant pain relief. Cold sore recurrences are very common. The virus stays in the ganglia in an inactive, or latent, form. During this time the virus does not replicate. It stays in this latent form for varying amounts of time. Certain triggers may cause the virus to travel down the nerve to the skin and cause symptoms to reappear. This is known as a recurrence. The hydrocolloid plaster technology of Compeed ® plasters help protect and/or relieve your wound, corn or callus at all stages of development : Cold sores: the Compeed ® discreet patch treats cold sores throughout all stages of development to facilitate healing and resolution. Avoid These 3 Mistakes Using Hydrocolloid Blister Dressings 1) Hydrocolloid Blister Dressings Are Not For Blister PreventionAs soon as you start shopping for blister plasters, you're likely to come across these heel plasters from Compeed® and it makes sense — they're a staple for any blister sufferer! There are certainly no complaints when it comes to functionality. I'm going to get straight to the point here. Please, do not use hydrocolloid blister dressings (like Compeed) on blisters with an intact or torn roof! If you do, it may rip the skin of the blister roof off upon removal. As a result, you'll have made your blister worse, instead of better. Hydrocolloid dressings should only be used on deroofed blisters, like the ones pictured below. A deroofed blisters is one where the roof has been completely removed, leaving a red raw sore. At 24 hours, new skin layers, under the surface are in a steady formation process. After 2 days, a new layer of skin is already visible, and after 5 days, a new upper layer of skin is clearly seen. Cover with a specialist blister plaster to keep it clean, dry, and protected from further friction and stress. Resist the urge to pop or drain it. Should the blister burst on its own, don’t peel off the dead skin. Once it’s popped, gently wash the affected area with soap and water and cover it with a specialist blister plaster to keep it clean.

Blisters: Compeed ® specialist plasters will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal. Blisters are fluid filled lesions that develop in response to repeated friction on the skin. Open blisters can be very painful and take several days to heal. What causes blisters?

You do not need to burst the blister to use Compeed ®. If it does open, clean it with mild soapy water, soak it in a saltwater foot bath for 10 minutes and cover with a protective plaster such as COMPEED ®. Are COMPEED ® blister plasters waterproof?

A: When you remove your hydrocolloid blister plaster and your blister hasn't healed yet, your blister will look gooey. And it will smell. This is completely normal. It’s simply the combination of hydrocolloid particles and your wound fluids. This combination is what helps your skin heal optimally. Just wipe the goo off with a cotton bud or gauze (preferably sterile of course), apply a bit of antiseptic (eg: povidone iodine or Betadine) and put a new plaster on once the surrounding skin is dry. Q3: How will I know if my blister really is infected? The plaster, while being water-resistant outside the wound, allows excess wound fluid to evaporate from the wound and allows the skin to breathe.Dental hygiene is crucially important for achieving healthy teeth and gums. It's obvious that we all need to brush our teeth with toothpaste at least twice a day, but what if that's not enough? If you're noticing a bit of halitosis or bad breath, all you need to do is try an antibacterial or antiseptic mouthwash for bad breath at home that can disinfect your gums and clear away bacteria. With so many brands, though, it's hard to know where to start so we've put together our top ten rated products in the UK. In addition, we've run through a few pointers that you should know before you buy your own mouthwash, like whether or not you need a Chlorhexidine formula such as Corsodyl, an alcohol-free option from Listerine, or CB12 for overall bad breath. Read on for a minty fresh experience! 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.

I recommend Fixomull Stretch or a similar fixation tape around the circumference of a hydrocolloid dressing. Leave the majority of the dressing area visible – we need to visualise the degree of weepiness to determine when to change the dressing. This is good wound care practice. Plus, hydrocolloid dresings allow wound gasses to evaporate through the dressing (whilst being waterproof from the outside). Your blister is very large and deep - In this case, it's no longer a blister, it's an erosion. See your doctor or wound care professional.Leave in place until it starts to detach around edges on its own. It may stay on for up to several days while the blister heals. No more embarrassing situations as the patch discreetly yet comprehensively treats sores, and helps prevent the virus from spreading by preventing the affected area from being touched directly.
