The Medela Hydrogel Pads provide instant pain relief for cracked or sore nipples from breastfeeding and pumping.
The pads retain a high water content, providing immediate pain relief by creating a cooling, moist environment that helps to reduce discomfort especially for inflamed or sensitive skin around the nipples, and encourages the growth of new skin tissue. The pads also serve as a protective barrier against rubbing, helping to prevent further skin damage which may delay healing. The film layer of the Hydrogel Pads is impermeable to bacteria to keep a clean and protected healing environment and reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
Dermatologically tested, preservative-free and sterile, these pads can be easily applied and reapplied for up to 24 hours.
