URGO Extreme blisters is a hydrocolloid dressing that relieves pain and promotes blister healing.
Designed for reinforced hold*, URGO extreme blisters relieve pain. The extra-thick raised mesh distributed across this large format insulates blisters from pressure and friction.
1. Whether or not the blister has burst, clean it and the surrounding area with mild soap and water. Dry with a sterile dressing or leave to air-dry. Ensure the area to be treated is free from cream or oil.
2. Warm the dressing between your hands to make it more conformable and improve adhesion.
3. Remove the shiny protective tabs without touching the adhesive side.
4. Position the plaster over the blister
5. Press firmly and smooth the plaster thoroughly.
6. Remove the patterned backing paper.
Leave the plaster in place until it detaches on its own. Do not wear it for more than 7 days. To remove, carefully lift the edge of the plaster and gently roll it back to loosen it. Replace following the instructions for use.
The blister is a very fine blister filled with a clear fluid trapped under the skin. It is most often located on the feet or hands. After repeated rubbing of the skin (shoes, tools, etc.) it develops and becomes very painful.
Hydrocolloid technology
The hydrocolloid matrix of the dressing forms a skin-reconstituting gel that promotes blister healing. The dressing also insulates pressure and friction to relieve pain.
Do not apply a dressing or remove an already-applied dressing and consult a doctor:
- In the blister worsens or shows no improvement within 6 days of treatment
- If there are signs of infection (redness, pain, heat, swelling around the wound, pus, ...) or if the wound is open (no skin) -
or in case of doubt or discomfort
Diabetic patients should use hydrocolloid plasters only under medical or nursing supervision.
- Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
- Store plasters in their original box.
- Do not use after the expiry date (shown on the box).
- Do not use on open or infected wounds.
