Compeed Bunion Plasters

About Compeed Bunion Plasters

Compeed Bunion Plasters are specifically designed to wrap around the foot, providing immediate relief from painful pressure and friction. Using advanced hydrocolloid active gel technology, these plasters act like a second skin to support the natural moisture balance and provide a thick cushioning layer over the bunion. They are engineered to prevent further swelling, blisters, and the hardening of the skin that often occurs with hallux valgus.

Compeed Bunion Plasters are ultra-discreet and designed to stay in place for several days, making them ideal for all-day comfort in any footwear. They are available in:

• Compeed Bunion Plasters – 5 Pack

What Are Compeed Bunion Plasters Used For?

Compeed Bunion Plasters are used to alleviate the discomfort caused by bunions (hallux valgus). By providing a soft, protective cushion, the plaster redistributes pressure and prevents the bunion from rubbing against shoes. This helps to reduce immediate pain, prevent the formation of blisters, and stop the skin from thickening into calluses.

Who Are Compeed Bunion Plasters Suitable For?

These plasters are suitable for adults and teenagers experiencing bunion pain.

Do not use Compeed Bunion Plasters if you:

• Have an infected wound or a broken blister
• Are allergic to the adhesive or any components of the plaster

Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you:

• Have diabetes or poor circulation (risk of foot ulcers)
• Experience persistent foot pain that does not improve

How to Use Compeed Bunion Plasters

1. Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from creams or oils before application.
2. Remove the patterned paper, followed by the white paper, avoiding the adhesive side.
3. Apply the plaster firmly over the bunion, ensuring the edges are smoothed down flat against the skin.
4. Warm the plaster with the palm of your hand for one minute to improve adhesion.
5. Leave the plaster in place until it starts to peel away naturally; do not pull it off prematurely.

Possible Side Effects and Benefits

Benefits include:

• Instant relief from bunion pressure
• Protection against friction and further inflammation
• Waterproof and bacteria-resistant barrier

Side effects are rare but may include skin irritation if you have a specific sensitivity to hydrocolloids. If you notice redness or swelling that persists after removing the plaster, consult a pharmacist.

Warnings and Precautions

• For external use only.
• Do not cut the plaster, as the tapered edges are essential for it to stay in place.
• Any glue residue left on clothing can be removed with white spirit, following the garment’s care instructions.
• Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
