Compeed®
products relieve and protect from pain whilst assisting the natural
injury healing process.
Covering a wound with a protective bandage until it heals helps
speed healing and helps minimize the chance of scarring because
it helps prevent scabbing. Contrary to popular belief, keeping
a wound uncovered and allowing it to "breathe" and form
a scab actually slows the healing process and when it falls off
leaves a visible mark.
Plasters that absorb a wound's fluids and maintain an important
natural moisture balance are ideal for healing. Skin cells are
able to migrate easily - without drying out and developing into
a scab - to help form new, smooth tissue sooner.
The Compeed® technology is one of the latest innovations in
wound care available to consumers. The entire Advanced Healing
Plaster, or Blister Plaster, with its unique patented design,
is an absorbent layer that stays on for several days to enable
the wound to heal fast. By completely sealing the wound, the bandage
acts in place of a scab to seal in your body's own natural healing
fluids and keep dirt, germs and water out while letting healthy
cells move in to repair the injury naturally.
Compeed® Advanced Healing plasters restore the skin to a natural
moisture level by absorbing fluids from the injured skin. The
embedded particles in the bandage transform absorbed fluid into
a white gel and provide extra cushioning to help protect wounds
from bumping and re-injury.
Compeed® products are hypoallergenic are tested to show that
they reduce the chance of allergic reactions.
