Description

Indications for Sports Blister Patches

EPITACT® sports blister patches effectively protect the skin from friction (blisters, chafing, redness, irritation, burns, etc.) to enable optimal performance during sports activities. They can be used to prevent blister formation or to immediately relieve a formed but unpierced blister.

These protectors are suitable for use on the feet or any other area of the body subject to friction (such as around seams, skin-to-skin irritation, chafing from walking sticks, backpacks, shoe rubbing against the heel, under the arch of the foot, etc.).

How do they work?
The patches for foot blisters are made from EPITHELIUMTACT 01, an excellent silicone gel that inhibits friction and distributes pressure. They also have strong self-adhesive properties that ensure the protectors adhere well to the skin.

Results

Tests Conducted
The foot blister patches have been tested and validated on a diabetic population.

FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference compared to hydrocolloid dressings?
Hydrocolloid dressings are dressings that swell in the presence of water and form a gel. In this case, such dressings are typically used on a weeping wound: the protective gel forms thanks to the lymph it exudes. As for EPITACT® foot blister patches, the gel is already formed, and it protects the skin from friction to prevent blister formation or prevent it from bursting.

How many times can the sports blister protectors be washed and reused?
Sports blister patches can be washed 4 to 5 times on average. It is recommended to wash them after use to maintain their self-adhesive properties by removing dust and impurities. By cleaning their surface, you restore their initial sticky properties.

How to use the adhesive strips?
Sports blister protectors come with 12 adhesive strips. Once the patch is applied to the skin, place an adhesive strip over it. This ensures optimal adhesion of the patch, even during intense sports conditions (humidity, cold, heat, repeated movements, etc.). Unlike the protector, which is washable, the adhesive strips are for single use.
