ALPS Prosthetic Ointment is a vitamin A and D ointment used by amputees who are experiencing a rash or an abrasion. Alps recommends using their prosthetic ointment at night when you have removed your prosthesis. Many amputees have been known to place small amounts of Alps Ointment under their prosthetic liner, specifically along the top edge to prevent rashes. Alps Prosthetic Ointment reduces shear forces & friction between a silicone liner and your skin. This amputee ointment can be applied at the top edge of your prosthetic liner, fibular head, knee cap, or condyles if necessary; basically any prominent bones on your residual limb.
Recommended for use with silicone and urethane prosthetic liner materials
Not recommended for gel liners (thermoplastic) as Alps Prosthetic Ointment may deteriorate gel over time.
IngredientsVitamins A and D in a base of light mineral oil, white petrolatum, and yellow patrolatum.
