Prosthetic Limbs   How to apply ODABAN®

Treatment with ODABAN® Antiperspirant is straightforward and effective. ODABAN® should be applied only at bedtime after bathing, when relaxed, to DRY skin (use a little talcum powder or a hair dryer).

It is very important the skin is dry, as any moisture will break down ODABAN® to form irritants. Apply ODABAN® sparingly; just one or two sprays via a cotton wool pad or cotton bud.

The following morning the treated areas should be washed to remove any excess product. ODABAN® contains a silicone to help keep the skin supple, however, a moisturiser can also be used if necessary but not before application or until after the skin has been washed the following morning.

It is critical when first using ODABAN® to avoid applying too much as this will block the sweat ducts completely which results in an eventual bursting of the “dam walls” and a swift return to the original wetness problem.

Wicking socks can be used in conjunction with ODABAN® and after several applications limb wearers will find their socks remain dryer for longer.

Remember to apply sparingly, less is more, build your protection slowly using nightly applications until control is established then reduce to the minimum number of treatments per week to remain dry. Most individuals eventually require just two or three applications a week, everyone is different, however, so just take your time and go easy with the amount you use per application.
