Foot

Blisters often appear in areas were the skin is exposed to pressure and friction over a long period of time, e.g. during sports or when wearing new shoes. Pressure and friction cause the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis) to move back and forth over the underlying layer. A space forms between both skin layers, fluid seeps into the space and a blister is formed.

If the blister has already formed, the area should be protected from further pressure and contamination. Elastoplast Blister plaster with its hydrocolloid technology absorbs the blister fluid and creates an optimal moist wound healing environment that allows the wound to heal faster and restore quickly. At the same time the blister is safely sealed against dirt and bacteria. The Blister plaster protects from further pressure and relieves the pain.

A blister should not be opened because the blister roof protects against additional infection. If the blister comes open accidentally, the remaining skin layer should not be removed. In both cases it is important to protect the wound from external influences and contamination. The affected area should be cleaned and dried carefully before applying a plaster. If the blister is already open we recommend additional disinfection. Elastoplast Blister plaster with its hydrocolloid technology relieves pain from pressure and friction immediately and creates an optimal moist wound healing environment that allows the wound to heal faster. During the healing process, the blister is safely sealed against dirt and bacteria.

No, we recommend not to use any ointment, skin cream or other products underneath the plaster as this may reduce the effectiveness and the adhesive power of the product.

Elastoplast Blister plaster with its hydrocolloid technology creates an optimal moist wound healing environment that allows the wound to heal faster. In order not to disturb the healing process and as long as no signs of infection occur, the plaster should be left in place for several days and should only be changed when it peels off by itself.
