About Compeed
Compeed makes hydrocolloid plasters for blisters and cold sores, a gel-based dressing that cushions and speeds healing rather than simply covering. It is the leading blister treatment brand in Europe and Perrigo acquired it in 2015. Hydrocolloid dressings were developed for chronic wounds in hospitals before the technology was adapted for consumer use.
