Frequently asked questions
What are the contraindications for URGO heel blisters?
Contraindicated on infected wounds, for arterial disease of the foot and for infected diabetic foot.
What precautions should you take when using URGO heel blisters?
Non-sterile hydrocolloid plaster for the treatment of blisters, water-resistant for daily washing.
Must be applied by an adult for children aged under 16 years.
Do not cut. Single-use - do not reposition once applied and do not reuse the same dressing (risk of infection).
Hydrocolloid plaster - forms a white gel with wound secretions.
If sticky hydrocolloid residue remains on the skin, soaking in water is recommended: the adhesive will swell, lose adhesiveness and detach.
Do not apply a plaster or remove am already-applied plaster and consult a doctor:
– if 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, etc.)
– or in case of doubt or discomfort.
Diabetic patients should use hydrocolloid plasters only under medical or nursing supervision.
Do not use for more than 30 consecutive days.
