COMPEED® Advanced Blister Care Mixed Sizes

Unlike ordinary bandages, Compeed^® Blister Cushions are made using hydrocolloid – a moist wound healing dressing. Our skin is made up of many cells, and has the ability to heal itself. The liquid around a blister or skin wound contains important cells needed for natural wound healing. Allowing blisters or other skin wounds to heal in open air, or covering them with an ordinary bandage may cause the wound to dry out, allowing for scab formation. This slows down the healing process as the cells needed for wound healing grow more slowly in a dry environment. And, once the scab falls off, a scar can appear. Compeed^® Blister Cushions protect and isolate the blister or skin wound, support the natural moisture balance needed for skin repair. Unlike ordinary bandages, Compeed^® Blister Cushions stay in place for up to several days, while the blister heals. It is designed to look and fit like a second skin, giving you longer lasting pain relief, protection, and faster healing than ordinary bandages.

Yes. Within 24 hours of application, you may see a white gel or bubble starting to form in the center. This is normal. It is actually a visible sign that the Compeed^® Blister Cushion is working. That is, it is absorbing the excess fluid around your blister and forming a protective “cushion” so you don’t feel the pain of continued rubbing and pressure on your blister.

There are several sizes and shapes available. The “Medium” Compeed^® Blister Cushion dimensions are 4.2 x 6.8 cm (1.6 x 2.6 in). The “Small” Compeed^® Blister Cushion – sold as part of the Mixed Sizes pack – dimensions are 2.0 x 6.0 cm (0.7 x 2.3 in). The “Toe” Compeed^® Blister Cushion – sold as part of the Mixed Sizes pack – dimensions are 1.7 x 5.1 cm (0.6 x 2.0 in).

Yes. Compeed^® Blister Cushions can be used to help prevent blisters from forming, for example when wearing new shoes, or participating in a sporting activity. They can be applied as soon as the first sensations of rubbing or burning appear. Compeed^® Blister Cushions provide a barrier against further rubbing, relieve pain, and prevent the blister from fully developing. They can also be applied to a fully developed blister. Compeed^® will provide instant pain relief and long lasting protection while accelerating the natural healing process by helping to maintain the optimal moisture levels of the wound.

While the shape of the Small and Medium sized Compeed^® Blister Cushions are ideal for blisters on heels, they can also be used on sides or soles of the feet, toes, fingers, palms of hands,  and other parts of the body. They should not be used on areas of fragile skin such as around eyes, face, and genitals. Compeed^® Blister Cushions are designed to fit like a second skin. They are made with a polyuerethane film which is flexible, waterproof, and allows the skin to breathe. The tapered shape ensures optimal adherence so the Compeed^® Blister Cushion stays in place giving you instant pain relief, long lasting protection, and faster healing.

While Compeed^® Blister Cushions are indicated and designed to fit blisters specifically, the hydrocolloid (moist wound healing technology) in Compeed^® is proven to be effective for many types of minor skin wounds. However, they should not be used on fragile skin, such as burns, and you should avoid use around eyes, face, and genitals.

While the shape of the Small and Medium sized Compeed^® Blister Cushions is designed for blisters on heels, they can be used anywhere on the skin and can also be used for fever blisters. However, the size of the cushions may not be ideal, and they should not be used on fragile skin, such as burns, or around eyes and sensitive areas. We suggest you use a specific cold sore patch, such as the Mederma^® Cold Sore Discreet Healing Patch.

The hydrocolloid in Compeed^® Blister Cushions acts as a second skin to maintain the natural moisture levels, allowing fast wound healing with no scab and therefore reducing the risk of scarring.
