Answers:
Audrey: It is also known as Tincture of Benzoin. Some amputees use
it to harden tissue that is sensitive. It is commonly used by
athletes and found in any drug store. A potential user should apply a
bit to the surface of their arm or other non-sensitive skin area
before using it on other areas (such as a stump) to determine
allergenic reaction.
You can find it in most pharmacies. Athletes use it. Comes in a bottle
also sold as liquid bandage. Nor recommended for open wounds or deeply
abraded areas.
It comes in a can (spray). Like a can of deodorant. White with red label.
Sporting goods stores have it. It helps the skin to resist the formation of
blistering. When I played Babsketball in high school we used it when we had
new shoes.
Audrey,
If this is a spray on product, I believe Cramer puts it out. It is often
used in athletic training. Hope this is helpful.
Made by Cramer medical, find it in sports medicine supplies, with the pre
wrap, tape, Q.D.A., etc.
Tuf-skin is a J&J product. It is a spray adhesive utilized in the Athletic
Training community.
I will answer what I know but you will laugh........
Tough skin also known as new skin may be found at your local bowling center.
Not sure at all if it is the same product though.
Cramer Products. It is used by athletes.
Tuff Skin is a spray adhesive made by Cramer, a sports medicine company.
