Alps Silicone Lubricant

Use:

I sometimes recommend this product for patients that wear thigh high compression garments or pantyhose. It is a lubricant that makes it easier to rub the stocking on past the knee and thigh.

• To reduce friction against the skin.
• Fragile skin.
• Thigh high stockings to get the thigh portion on.

Pros:

• Reduces friction.
• It only takes a couple of drops to cover a large area since it does not absorb in the skin.

Cons:

• Cost can be an issue since it does run out. However, it takes very little per application so even the small bottle will last a while.

Combine with:

• Grip gloves and any other device to get stockings past the heel and ankle.
• Easy Slide Magnide for closed toe, to get past the heel.
• Juzo Easy Pad to rub the foot against.
