Hydrocolloid plasters provide cushioning and protection. Deal with blisters, and spots fast.
Blisters compromise the skin's protective barrier, creating painful inflammation, sensitivity, and even open wounds that can lead to infection. A hydrocolloid gel plaster can help you manage an unpleasant blister and provide comfort quickly.
Skin-Friendly Hypoallergenic
Hydrocolloid gel plasters are designed to protect the skin from drying out or being contaminated with bacteria. A blister plaster can be used on cuts and grazes to provide protection. By maintaining a moist environment, the hydrocolloid plaster provides a protective cover over the area. This helps prevent the formation of hard scabs and reduces discomfort.
Discreet and Flexible
The plasters feature a thin and discreet film which fits smoothly to the skin. The breathable washproof backing flexes with movement to protect wounds from water and germs, with a low allergy adhesive to minimise the risk of an allergic reaction. Find large plasters on this page that can be used on adults and children. Our plasters are carefully made with hypoallergenic materials, which means they’re gentle on the skin.

What can Hydrocolloid Plasters be used for?
Pressure Sores or Pressure Ulcers
Our Steroplast Hydrocolloid Plaster is the best plaster for blisters. They are also used as padded plasters for pressure sores or pressure ulcers as they provide cushioning and protect the surrounding healthy tissue.
Spots/ Acne
Hydrocolloid plasters can help manage spots as they absorb exudate. Using hydrocolloid plaster for acne means your delicate skin is protected underneath in a hydrated environment.
This even deters the temptation to pick at a spot which can damage the skin further and elongate the healing process. However, dermatologists advise putting hydrocolloid plasters on spots occasionally and only when dealing with individual pimples, rather than using them as an all-over hydrocolloid plasters acne treatment which can affect the normal function of the skins outer layer.
How to Use Hydrocolloid Plasters
Apply Hydrocolloid Plasters correctly to keep wounds safe. The following guide offers a step-by-step approach to ensure optimal protection.
Before Application
Applying the Plaster
1. Hold the Hydrocolloid plaster in one hand. Using your thumb and index finger, carefully peel back the upper protective film. It's essential to avoid touching the underside of the plaster to maintain a clean field.
2. Position the plaster over the wound, ensuring that the padded, absorbent part covers it entirely. During this step, remember to touch only the protective film and the non-adhesive side of the plaster, not the wound pad.
3. After securing the plaster's positioning by lowering it onto the wound, you can remove the remaining protective film. Use your fingers and thumbs to pull the film away, pressing the adhesive side down as you go.

How do hydrocolloid plasters work?
Our hydrocolloid plasters are intelligently designed to create a protective barrier, soft cushioning, and absorption of exudate.
As fluid comes out of the wound, it creates a hydrated gel over the top, acting as a kind of scab to protect the area and keep it moist. When the plaster is replaced, all the exudate is removed from the top of the wound, and the new, clean plaster continues to protect the area with a fresh layer of hydrocolloid.
When to seek medical assistance
If you have a large, deep wound, or signs of infection it's essential to consult a healthcare professional. Signs of infection include:
- Redness, swelling, tenderness or pain at the wound site
- Hot or hard feeling around the wound
- Pus in the wound
- A bad smell coming from the wound
