Tips for flight attendants to avoid wearing out their feet

In the busy aviation industry, flight attendants always present an elegant and professional image. But behind the glamorous appearance, they also face many unknown challenges, one of which is foot discomfort caused by standing and walking for a long time.

During long hours of work, flight attendants need to stand and walk in high heels, which undoubtedly puts great pressure on their feet. The magic of hydrocolloid heel pads is that they can provide precise support and protection according to the shape and needs of individual feet. Whether it is the depression of the heel or the sensitive area of the sole, the hydrocolloid heel pad can provide just the right support, allowing flight attendants to work more easily.

What are the advantages of hydrocolloid heel pads?

It is a foot care product made of hydrocolloid material. Different from traditional Band-Aids, hydrocolloid heel pads have stronger fit and breathability. Hydrocolloid heel pads are usually made of thin and transparent materials, which are almost invisible when they are attached to the feet. They will not damage the professional image of flight attendants but can bring them real comfort.

Can I use it if blisters appear on it?

Yes, it can be used. It is generally not recommended to puncture blisters with a diameter of no more than 5 mm. After disinfection, you can directly use the heel patch for application. If the blister is larger than 5 mm in diameter, it is recommended to puncture it, release the liquid in the blister, and then use the hydrocolloid heel patch for application. It can provide a slightly acidic and enclosed space for the wound that is conducive to healing and can also reduce the invasion of foreign microorganisms, reduce the chance of infection, and accelerate the healing of the wound.

Tips for using hydrocolloid heel patch:

1. Choose the right size. Different people have different heel sizes and shapes, so when choosing hydrocolloid heel pads, you should choose according to your heel size to ensure a good fit and comfort.

2. Clean the heel area. Before using the hydrocolloid heel sticker, you should clean the heel area with clean water to remove grease and dirt to improve the adhesion of the hydrocolloid heel sticker.

3. Replace regularly. After long-term use, the adhesion and support of the hydrocolloid heel pad will gradually weaken, so it is recommended to replace it once a day to maintain its effect.
