If your feet rub against your shoes, use this!

In daily life and sports, the feet, especially the heels, often suffer from blisters, abrasions, and other wounds due to friction or pressure. Although these wounds are small, they may cause pain and inconvenience. As an advanced wound care product, hydrocolloid heel patches provide an efficient and comfortable solution for the healing of heel wounds with their unique properties. This article will introduce the characteristics, scope of application, usage, and precautions of hydrocolloid heel patches in detail to help readers better understand and apply this product.

What are hydrocolloid heel patches?

Hydrocolloid heel patch is a wound care dressing made with hydrocolloid technology. Its main ingredient is sodium carboxymethylcellulose, which has multiple advantages such as absorbency, self-adhesion, and waterproofness. The hydrocolloid heel patch is translucent, which is convenient for observing the wound condition. After absorbing the exudate, it will turn into a gel and swell locally to appear white. Hydrocolloid heel patches from brands such as Furuiwo have a unique spatial grid structure, which achieves a higher liquid absorption rate, stronger adhesion and longer use time.

What are its advantages?

Moist healing environment: Hydrocolloid heel patch can provide a closed and moist healing environment for the wound, promote the growth of granulation tissue and epithelial tissue, and accelerate the healing of the wound.

Protect the wound surface: Its self-adhesive design can fit the skin closely, effectively preventing the invasion of external bacteria, reducing the risk of infection, and alleviating wound pain.

Absorb exudate : Hydrocolloid heel patch can effectively absorb wound exudate, keep the wound surface clean and dry, and avoid skin problems caused by moisture.

Beautiful and comfortable: Its thin, soft, and skin-friendly design makes the user feel almost no foreign body when wearing the shoes, and its beautiful appearance does not affect daily activities.

In what scenarios can it be used?

Hydrocolloid heel patch is suitable for external application on blisters and small wounds of epidermal trauma on the heels, elbows, toes and other parts of the feet. It is especially suitable for wounds such as heel wear and blisters caused by new shoes, long-term walking, or exercise. It can also be used for preventive protection of the parts of the foot that are prone to friction and injury.

Directions :

1. Clean the skin: Before use, clean the area to be applied with wet wipes or saline to remove grease and dirt, and ensure that the skin is dry.

2. Choose the right size: Choose the right size hydrocolloid heel patch according to the size of the wound. When cutting, it should be about 2cm larger than the edge of the wound to ensure adequate coverage.

3. Apply the dressing: Tear off the adhesive layer, align the absorbent pad with the wound area, and apply it flat on the skin from the center outward. Gently tap the edges to ensure that they are firmly fixed and prevent them from lifting.

4. Press and fix: Warm it slightly with your hands for 1-2 minutes after pasting to enhance the stickiness.

5. Change the dressing: The hydrocolloid heel patch will turn into a white gel after absorbing the exudate, which indicates that the dressing should be changed. When changing, 0° traction should be applied to reduce pain and protect the skin.

Note tips:

Inappropriate conditions : Hydrocolloid heel patch is not suitable for wounds with excessive exudation, fragile surrounding skin or infected wounds. For very dry wounds, it can be combined with hydrogel application, but it should not be used alone.

Contraindications: For wounds with active bleeding, it should be used only after the bleeding has completely stopped.

Personal care : Keep the wound area clean and dry during use, and avoid excessive friction and pressure. If you experience any discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching, etc. during use, stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.

Product Storage: Hydrocolloid heel patches should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and a high temperature environment.
