In 1988 during the Paralympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, Dennis Oehler became the first amputee to ever run the 100 meter sprint in under 12 seconds. His time of 11.7 seconds set a new world record in disabled sports.
In 1989 Dennis, with partner Todd Schaffhauser, held the first ever Walking/Running Clinic for amputees. Now, 15 years later and having trained over 8,000 amputees, Dennis has seen hundreds of cases of severe rashes due to unwanted bacterial growth that can occur within the leg socket.

“
As an amputee, I find that my socket can produce an environment that allows bacteria to grow and cause severe rashes at times. Since using Ampu-tect Skin Care Oil, I am now rash free and have never been more satisfied with this products preventative and healing qualities.

Dear Tracie,
I felt compelled to write you and let you know what I thought of your product. I am approximately 10 months post amputation, and I continue to adjust to this new form of life. As is the case with most people who undergo such a procedure, I was venturing into territories unknown. No one can prepare you for the drastic changes in your life, however, your company has taken this challenge to heart and developed a product, which is truly amazing. I was introduced to your Ampu-tect product at my last visit to my Prosthetist. Since I was having trouble with sores and severe irritation on my stump when, Dennis and Todd of Amputeam offered me a sample of your product. I am amazed by the difference in how my leg felt. By using your Ampu-tect I have cleared up the problem area and have confidence that it will no longer be a source of irritation. Your product is truly amazing and I will profess the benefits to all whom I meet. Thank you for thinking of our special needs, if you should ever encounter anyone that doubts the effectiveness of this product, please feel free to send them my direction, I will endorse your product wholeheartedly.
Thank you so very much.

"It's not only fun to apply but it really works! No Bull! Vasoline and Noxema never quite felt right. I'm sold on this stuff and I highly recommend trying it if your serious about cycling".

Hi Tracie... The Amputect is a great product, it lasts about 4 months. I like it better then A&D ointment, its not as greasy. I ride motorcycles and it helps to keep me from getting a rash. Its a great product.
Thank you
Rich
