blister pad

Adhesive foot cushion

A blister pad is a cushioned bandage designed to protect blisters from friction and pressure, typically worn on feet or hands.

The pad usually has a gel or foam center that absorbs impact while allowing the blister to heal: I put a blister pad on my heel before the hike.

Some are preventive, applied before blisters form.
