PTFE Patch
The PTFE Patch™ provides a simple solution to the common yet serious problems of calluses, blisters, and foot ulcers. These skin conditions are often addressed only through pressure reduction. However, friction is also a major factor causing skin failure. PTFE Patches reduce friction, aid in prevention, and create a better healing environment for calluses, blisters, and foot ulcers. PTFE Patches reduce the coefficient of friction dramatically to decrease skin trauma. Adding a PTFE Patch reduces friction under the skin and can improve the effectiveness of other callus, ulcer, or blister preventions or treatments. These self-adhesive patches are durable, flexible, and thin. Application does not affect fit or function of orthoses, shoes, or insoles.
