Limb care products are an essential part of daily health and comfort for people living with limb loss. Designed to protect the skin, maintain hygiene, and support long-term prosthetic use, these products help prevent irritation, breakdown, and infection that can occur from the constant contact between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket.

This category includes a range of barrier creams, skin protection lotions, antimicrobial gels, and moisturisers formulated specifically for the unique needs of amputees. Barrier and protection creams create a thin, breathable layer on the skin, reducing friction, preventing chafing, and shielding sensitive areas from sweat and bacteria. Moisturising and conditioning products help maintain skin elasticity and reduce the risk of dryness or cracking, while antimicrobial formulations add an extra level of protection against infection.

Uses in Daily Care:

• Barrier creams to protect against friction, rubbing, and socket pressure.

• Skin protection creams and gels to maintain healthy skin under liners and sockets.

• Moisturisers and conditioners to prevent dryness and improve skin resilience.

• Antimicrobial products to reduce the risk of infection and odour.

By integrating limb care products into their routine, amputees can improve comfort, extend socket wear time, and support overall skin health — ensuring better mobility and quality of life.
