FAQs
How long should I leave the blister plaster on?
It is recommended to change the plaster daily or whenever it becomes dirty or loses its adhesion. For optimal healing, ensure the area is clean and dry before applying a new plaster.
Can I use this on an open or infected blister?
This plaster is best suited for closed or draining blisters. For open wounds or signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), consult a healthcare professional before using any dressing.
Does this plaster prevent blisters?
The Karrimor Blister Plaster is primarily designed to cushion and aid the healing of existing blisters. While it can offer some protection, it is not specifically designed as a preventative measure against blister formation.
What are the dimensions of the plaster?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to cover typical blister sizes effectively.
Can I shower with the plaster on?
The plasters are designed to offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to water may affect adhesion. It's best to try and keep the area dry or reapply if it becomes wet.
Is the material breathable?
The material creates a moist healing environment, which is beneficial for healing. It is designed to protect the blister while allowing for healing.
