ALPS Prosthetic Ointment is a vitamin A and D formulation that
soothes and protects the skin on your amputated leg. It may be used
nightly after the prosthesis has been removed or during the day under
a silicone prosthetic device. Alps Prosthetic Ointment reduces shear
forces between a silicone liner and your skin. This ointment can be
applied at the top edge of the liner, fibular heads, knee caps, or
condyles if necessary.

Available in one 4 oz. tube. Sold each, (12/case)
Chafing Treatment - The general treatment for chafing is to treat the
area by washing with a prosthetic cleanser and cool to luke warm
water. Then apply Alps Prosthetic Ointment and cover with a bandaid
or sterile guaze. This works well and most amputees prefer the A and
D ingredients in Alps Prosthetic Ointment. (Yes, the diaper rash
ointment!) It relieves pain and itch, promotes healing, and keeps the
area lubricated so you can continue walking without discomfort. After
this product was recommended to some fellow amputees it soon
became known as "Magic Ointment" it works so well.
