Hydrocolloid Roll Tape

"Cut to size."

A roll of hydrocolloid tape, 5cm wide, in three lengths. Cut it to fit blisters, friction points, or any awkward spot a standard patch does not cover. Same material as our pimple patches, sized to the wound. The 5m roll works out cheapest per metre — the size hikers and first-aid kits tend to want.

What's in the pack

  • 1 × roll, 5cm wide — 1m, 3m or 5m
  • Backing paper for clean cutting
  • The bigger the roll, the lower the price per metre

How it works

Hydrocolloid is a gel-based dressing that absorbs fluid from a wound and holds moisture against the skin. This speeds healing and reduces scarring compared to a dry plaster. Cut the dressing to fit the wound instead of working around fixed-size patches.

How to stop and treat blisters on the trail

Good for

  • Heel and ankle blisters from long walks or runs
  • Wounds bigger than a standard patch
  • Friction points under shoes or packs
  • Post-tattoo aftercare (check with your tattoo artist first)
  • First aid kits
Not for: Infected wounds or heavily draining wounds. For non-infected blisters, friction points, and minor surface skin protection only. If you are using this for post-tattoo or wound care, check with your tattoo artist or a medical professional first.
