ShearBan®

ShearBan Sheets, 9x12", Blue

Low-Friction Sheets for Friction Relief

ABOUT SHEARBAN…

ShearBan® is a patented ultra-thin, low friction interface material, proven to relieve skin trauma caused by damaging friction forces.

Apply ShearBan® directly onto an orthosis, prosthesis or footwear to ensure long-lasting protection from painful rubbing & skin trauma. Or apply ShearBan® once a hot spot, blister, callus or diabetic foot ulcer has formed, to alleviate pain and allow the wound to heal without further injury.

ShearBan Sheets, 9x12", Beige

ShearBan® is available in 9" x 12" sheets*, in 2 colors: blue or beige, with a durable pressure-sensitive adhesive that won't migrate away from the area to which it's applied. When heated, ShearBan® is easy to contour around prosthetic sockets and other difficult applications.

*9" x 12" Sheets available in single or 5-pack. ShearBan® is also available in rivet cover and cosmetic patches*

IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE FRICTION NEEDS TO BE REDUCED

Contrary to the popular belief that pressure causes redness and skin trauma, friction (or shear) is another major component of skin trauma. Repetitive rubbing leads to reddened skin, abrasions, blisters, calluses and diabetic foot ulcers. The only options are to ignore the body's warning signs, discontinue the activity that caused the problem or intervene with a product like ShearBan®.

It's important to understand that not all friction is 'bad'. In fact, friction forces help keep your foot secure in a shoe or custom orthotic device. ShearBan® provides effective management of friction forces that otherwise lead to expensive and time-consuming office visits.
