Product Description
-------------------
Sawyer's ultra-thin, medical grade Blist-O-Ban adhesive bandages
provides blister protection and helps stop and prevent footwear
hot spots with patented friction and rubbing technology.
Designed to help prevent blisters before they start, Blist-O-Ban
transparent, breathable, water-resistant, and latex-free adhesive
bandages are ideal for use over any blisters, hot spots, or
injury prone areas. They’re perfect for breaking in a new pair of
boots, going on a hike, heading out for a jog, or working a long
walking shift on the job.
The Blist-O-Ban bandage features a patented dome that glides
smoothly in all directions, deflecting friction and shear forces
away from the skin. When a force is applied to the skin, the
central dome collapses and produces a gliding movement,
effectively redirecting the pressure vector away from the
protected area.
If movement exceeds the distance the dome can glide, the low
friction polyurethane material will reduce friction experienced
over the affected area. The area under the central dome will also
experience less mechanical trauma, providing during use.
Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most
technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun,
bugs, water, and injuries -- everything from first aid kits
developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that
filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled
water.

How Blist-O-Ban Works
---------------------
Blist-O-Ban uses a new approach that addresses the very cause of
blisters: friction and shear forces on the skin. When a force is
applied to the skin, the central dome collapses and produces a
gliding movement, effectively redirecting the pressure vector
away from the protected area. If movement exceeds the distance
the dome can glide, the low friction polyurethane material will
reduce friction experienced over the affected area. The area
under the central dome will also experience less mechanical
trauma, providing during use.

Designed By an Expert
---------------------
Blist-O-Ban was invented by Dr. Sam Scheinberg and Adrian
Polliack, Ph.D. Sam, an orthopedic surgeon and inventor of the
SAM Splint, inspired a complete rethinking of blister prevention
and management. Adrian incorporated his expertise on shear and
friction to help produce a unique, innovative new approach to
blister care.
