Urgo Cors & Œils-de-Perdrix Bandages, Box of 5

What is Urgo Cors & Œils-de-Perdrix Bandage used for?

A callus (or corn) is a thickening of the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. In most cases, calluses are found on the sole of the foot, and sometimes on the palm of the hand. Although a benign condition, a corn on the foot (or callus on the foot) can nevertheless cause significant discomfort when walking and may even become infected, requiring surgical intervention.

The Urgo Callus and Corn Treatment Dressing is specially designed to treat calluses on the toes caused by repeated friction and painful pressure. This hydrocolloid bandage provides immediate pain relief upon application by acting directly on pressure points. Thanks to its innovative formula, it creates an optimal environment for healing, thereby promoting the reduction of calluses in an effective and comfortable manner.

Using the Urgo dressing is simple and convenient. Just clean and dry the affected area before gently applying the dressing to the callus. Make sure the skin is free of any cream or oil to ensure optimal adhesion. Once in place, the bandage acts as a protective barrier against friction and pressure, allowing the skin to heal while relieving the pain associated with calluses.

Thanks to its specific shape designed for toes, the Urgo bandage offers a perfect fit that ensures optimal comfort throughout the day. Its soft and flexible texture allows for natural movement, making it ideal for daily use, even in tight or snug shoes. In addition, its water resistance ensures long-lasting protection, even when exposed to moisture, helping to maintain an environment conducive to healing.

In addition to treating calluses, the Urgo bandage also promotes skin regeneration. By forming a protective gel upon contact with the wound, it creates a moist environment that stimulates the natural healing process. Thus, in addition to relieving pain and reducing calluses, it helps speed up healing and prevent potential infections, ensuring a quick and complication-free recovery.

Urgo Corn and Callus Treatment 5 Gel Bandages is a hydrocolloid bandage with glycerin used for the topical treatment of corns and calluses, calluses located on the toes that manifest as thickened skin caused by repeated friction and painful pressure. It relieves pain immediately upon application by eliminating pressure points. It then gently softens and removes the corn through its emollient effect, thanks to the moisturizing action of glycerin combined with the hydrocolloid layer.

The main cause ofcornsandcallusesis repeated friction between the skin and the shoe, but foot deformities can also lead to the development of corns. In fact, an unbalanced foot or an angled forefoot causes friction thatpromotes the formation of corns.

Friction and/or excessive pressure on the bones of the foot cause the skin to thicken by stimulating the production ofkeratin, the primary protein in the epidermis.

In addition to thepainandthickening of the skincaused by corns and calluses, they can also lead to limping, a shift in weight distribution that can then lead to bone and joint problems, and suppuration resulting from an infection of the bursa located under the callus or in thearea of friction.
