Introducing ShearBan®
ShearBan is a patented, self-adhesive, low friction interface that provides targeted protection from friction & shear forces that contribute to the formation of hot spots, blisters, calluses, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Durable Performance
This durable material is applied directly to equipment and devices rather than the skin, providing long-lasting protection by strategically reducing friction in the contact area.
protection where it matters
ShearBan is ideal for addressing problem or at-risk areas in orthopedic braces, prosthetic sockets, footwear, insoles, athletic equipment, and more.
ordering
All ShearBan products are available to medical professionals via their preferred O&P supplier, or our distributor, Becker Orthopedic. Consumers may purchase select products at Ithaca Sports.

Strategic Friction Reduction Technology
ShearBan works by reducing friction only in specific, at-risk areas of footwear, insoles, medical devices and sports equipment to protect sensitive tissue from wound-causing friction. We think of this as Strategic Friction Reduction. Friction is retained in surrounding areas to optimize mobility and stability for users. Unlike on-skin bandages designed for temporary coverage, ShearBan provides months of lasting protection with a single application. Using Strategic Friction Reduction principles, ShearBan enhances the ability of orthotic and prosthetic design allowing for achievement of greater alignment and functional outcomes than by using ‘pressure management’ alone to protect the skin.
