As a prosthetic user you should not have to slow down because of skin irritation. Dr. Greenfield’s Chafe Shield is a topical anti-friction cream that provides a barrier of protection to prevent and also help heal most types of skin irritation caused by friction. Dr. Greenfield’s Chafeshield is great for all amputation levels and is designed to help prevent and relieve chapping, chafing and blisters caused by the repetitive rubbing of normal movement inside your prosthetic socket.
Dr. Geenfield Chafe Shield’s anti-friction formula provides relief anywhere there is friction between you and your socket. Areas of suggested application are on your thigh skin around the inside brim of your AKA Prosthetic leg, or on either side of your shin bone for below knee amputees. Its been suggested that another great place to apply Dr. Greenfield’s Chafeshield cream is along your hamstrings directly above the below knee socket trimelines. Dr Greenfield’s ChafeShield is a non-greasy topical cream that penetrates quickly and is unscented and non-staining. It can handle any kind of activity you participate in. Dr. Greenfield’s Chafeshield should last most of the day without reapplying even if your prosthetic wear time is 8-10 hours per day.
