LANGHORNE, Pa., Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NEXGEL, Inc. ("NEXGEL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NXGL, NXGLW), a leading provider of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, today announced the launch of its MEDAGEL ClearComfort Hydrogel Patch. The patches - using NEXGEL's advanced hydrogel technology - prevent and treat foot blisters by comfortably insulating the skin from friction caused by rubbing and chafing in shoes.

The dynamic MEDAGEL ClearComfort Hydrogel Patches are available in a variety of shapes, including a customizable sheet that allows consumers to cut and create a perfect fit for their specific shoe needs. These patches are ideal for high-end footwear and will not leave a sticky residue on the shoe like other products. Additionally, the clear gel backing is not visible on any skin tone.

"With multiple shapes, including those for shoe straps, heels and a customizable pad, consumers no longer have to suffer while breaking in new heels, running sneakers, or the like. Our proprietary hydrogel technology is designed to guard consumers' skin, provide cushioning, and prevent blisters more comfortably and effectively than existing options."
