Wrap treatments using the liquid for external use "Retterspitz Äußerlich" relieve pain and help reduce swelling. After completing the wrap treatment, apply the intensive moisturiser "Retterspitz Hautcreme Intensiv" into the skin. This prevents pressure sores and chafing. The cream should be applied generously to create a soft, protective layer between the prosthesis and the skin.
