The story behind ReSkin

Benefits
This new generation cycling seat pad represents a tremendous step forward in the prevention of chronic wounds. It can be used as a stand alone product or in combination with a standard chamois for extra pressure absorption. The ReSkin cycling pad is lined with a self-adhesive medical grade polymer gel, specially designed to relieve the friction between the body and the bicycle saddle or rough surfaces like the seam area where the chamois is sewed on the shorts or sand that has made access into the short.
The most important benefits of ReSkin® are:
° Optimum prevention of friction
° High seat comfort
° Excellent moisture vapour transport
° Excellent heat dissipation
° Long term hygienic properties
° Easy-care, washable at 30°C° Skin friendly

ReSkin All-round patch-Anywhere a blister occurs



Alongside the ReSkin® for cyclists, BioRacer also developed a product that can be used anywhere on the body where friction occurs. Blisters on your feet and friction from clothing are some examples of where you can apply the All-round patch to prevent rubbing. Skiing, ice skating, running, horse riding, motocross, cross-country racing and walking are just some sports that can benefit from ReSkin.

The following applies to all types of ReSkin® products:

• Apply ReSkin® directly to the skin wherever rubbing causes problems. Apply ReSkin® to clean dry skin. Cut the ReSkin® to the correct size to get a good adhesive bond between the skin and the product. ReSkin® will immediately relieve friction in areas where rubbed skin is a problem.
• The bi-elasticity of the product (two-directional stretch) creates relief from rubbing by transferring it. Friction now takes place between the Reskin® and the other materials rather than on the skin. It therefore acts like a second artificial layer of skin .
ReSkin® is breathable, skin-friendly and painless to remove. The specially created adhesive barely removes a single hair from your body.
• The special adhesive used on the surface of the ReSkin® products conforms to ISO 10993-1 and has been tested for cyto-toxicity, skin sensitization, and intracutaneous irritation.

A ReSkin Story


I was contacted by a woman right here in my own back yard who uses our product.
Joyce wrote in to say:

I read about it on one of the forums on the Team Estrogen web site.  The posters there are pretty open about discussing female medical/cycling issues.  I was having problems with my tender parts getting sore if I rode for more than an hour or two.  Based on the report on the Team Estrogen forum I tried the ReSkin and now I can go all day with no problems.

Thanks, Team Estrogen for having such an informative forum. http://www.teamestrogen.com/

ReSkin for the Feet




The ReSkin R&D team is always searching to find solutions against different types of friction induced wounds. ReSkin introduces a patch, designed specifically to protect the feet from friction, the ReSkin Feet and Heel Patches.

Walking or running long distances or using new shoes, can cause blisters and friction wounds. These injuries can be very annoying and painful. This shape can be used in different positions on the feet and heels. Also great for women who wear high heels. It works as a second skin, painlessly removeable, washable and it can be used more than once.

ReSkin Breast and Nipple Patch





The ReSkin R&D department has come up with a new solution for a problem lots of women cope with: Intertrigo.

Intertrigo is a form of inflammation that can exist on different parts of the body, especially in the body folds. A combination of heat, perspiration and chafing can cause the skin to become red and irritated.

Especially for women who have to cope with this problem, ReSkin launches the Breast Patch. Thanks to the new form, and the well-known skin-friendly qualities, the skin fold under the breasts is protected against this irritation.

Next to the Breast Patch, ReSkin also launches its Nipple Patch. This patch is designed to protect the nipples from irritation. Perfect for runners or any action that produces nipple irritation.

Bike Patch



Pain due to friction from your cycling shorts while cycling is a phenomenon that is very common among cyclists. This can seriously affect the performance of all cyclists. If this pain can be prevented, performance is bound to increase. Not only that, the pleasure of simply riding will increase too.

ReSkin® is the latest innovation from Bio-Racer that solves this problem. Combining a specially perforated type of Lycra® with a specially created silicon coating has resulted in a skin-friendly product with outstanding qualities.

Our product ReSkin® has been put on the market only after extensive testing in both the laboratory and the field. It is skin friendly, painlessly removable, washable and RE-USABLE. World class cyclists are already using our product with great success. They have been our testing ground.

• ReSkin® is applied to the perineum. The perineum is the piece of skin between the anus and the genitals. The perennial area contains sweat glands,hair follicles and sebaceous glands that can often
