The honeycomb design provides 20% extra cushioning for optimal comfort and protection during any high intensity activity.

Hydrocolloid technology

Compeed hydrocolloid technology is an active gel with moisture absorbing particles. Extra thick cushioning redistributes pressure from the blister to deliver instant pain relief. Compeed has a tapered edge so it contours smoothly with the skin’s surface. This reduces friction and ensures the healing process is not disrupted by painful rubbing. Stays in place for several days. Individual experience may vary.

What is a blister?

Friction blisters are common yet highly undesirable. In most cases they can be easily prevented and, if needed, treated. This section contains everything you need to know about how to treat blisters and how compeed can support you. Most blisters form when your skin rubs against your shoes or socks repeatedly over time. The damaged upper layer of skin shears away from the layers beneath and fluid collects in the space to create a firm bubble under the skin – forming the dreaded blister. They develop very quickly, can take several days to heal, and if they break open they can become infected, making the pain even worse.

Blisters develop most frequently in the summer because on hot, humid days our feet tend to swell up from water retention, causing our shoes to squeeze our feet in certain areas. Feet also get sweatier in the summer. So, when your feet are both swollen and sweaty it’s a dangerous combination, ripe for feet friction.

Activities causing blister

Blisters can happen when doing various activities such as sport, wearing new shoes, and on your feet all day. This section contains everything you need to know about blisters during various activities.
