Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about this product
What are 2nd Skin Blister Pads?
2nd Skin Blister Pads are sterile first aid pads made from a hydrocolloid pad bordered by a thin film. The brand says the pad helps keep a blister from drying out and absorbs perspiration while it is worn over the area.
How many pads come in a 2nd Skin Blister Pads pack?
Five. Each 2nd Skin Blister Pads pack holds 5 sterile pads, and the label marks every pad as single use only, so a fresh pad is needed each time an old one is removed and replaced.
What size is each 2nd Skin blister pad?
Each 2nd Skin blister pad measures 60 mm by 38 mm. The hydrocolloid centre is surrounded by a thin film border with an adhesive side that is exposed once the large release liner is peeled away.
How do you apply a 2nd Skin Blister Pad?
Clean and dry the area first, then peel off the large release liner. Without touching the centre, place the 2nd Skin pad on the area, smooth it down with a rolling motion and remove the small release liner. Please consult your doctor before use.
How long can a 2nd Skin pad stay on the skin?
Up to five days. The 2nd Skin label says a pad should not be left on longer than five days without changing, and a loosened pad should be removed gently by pulling it away from the skin before a fresh one goes on. Please consult your doctor before use.
When should you stop using 2nd Skin Blister Pads?
2nd Skin labelling says to stop use and consult a physician if signs such as increased bleeding, pain or swelling appear around the area. Each pad is also single use only and should never be reapplied after removal. Please consult your doctor before use.
