SWIX ointments for the 2019-20 season. Slide, hold, protect!

Groups of anti-inflammatory ointments

Depending on the composition, anti-inflammatory ointment for muscles and knee joints affects inflammation differently. The drug suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators in cells, suppressing the symptoms of the process. If antibacterial components are added to the medication, the negative effect of microflora is additionally eliminated, and if there are warming or chondroprotective substances, the recovery process is accelerated.

All ointments with an anti-inflammatory effect are divided into groups that differ in their principle of action. Main types:

1. Homeopathic - used for diseases that involve inflammation, contain natural plant extracts.
2. Local irritants - help relieve inflammation caused by injury, hypothermia, and physical activity.
3. Chondroprotective - eliminates pain from spinal hernia, spondyloarthrosis, osteochondrosis.
4. Non-steroidal - used for severe pain, prescribed by a doctor.
5. Combined - combine several effects, for example, massage and analgesic, steroid effects (hormonal).

Criteria for choosing an ointment

The resulting pain in the limbs, muscles and back, swelling of the soft tissues force a person to take steps to eliminate the symptoms. Usually, such problems are solved in two ways: they seek help from a medical institution or purchase the medicine themselves without a prescription at the pharmacy. As a rule, anti-inflammatory ointments are used to treat pain and swelling.

Today, the range of anti-inflammatory drugs in the form of ointments, creams and gels is quite large. Figuring out which drug will have the maximum effect is not easy. Price, manufacturer, packaging design, attractive advertising campaign are not a guarantee of the effectiveness of any drug.

The main arguments when choosing an ointment for muscle pain, joint diseases, and various injuries are the composition and mechanism of their action on the body. It is imperative to consider the cause of discomfort, swelling and soreness. Otherwise, it is difficult to achieve positive results.

Anti-inflammatory ointments for diseases of the musculoskeletal system

To treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system and organs, anti-inflammatory ointment for joints or skin is used. Indications for the use of such drugs are:

• infected wounds, burns;
• trophic ulcers, pyoderma (pustular lesion);
• erysipelas, streptococcal lesions of the epidermis;
• ophthalmic infections, conjunctivitis, blepharitis;
• inflammation in the nasal cavity, ears;
• gynecological diseases, adnexitis;
• rheumatoid, deforming arthrosis, osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis;
• osteochondrosis, gout;
• myositis (inflammation of muscles), neuritis (inflammation of nerves);
• contact, atopic dermatitis;
• eczema, psoriasis, pemphigus vulgaris, exudative erythema.

Homeopathic

Local homeopathic ointments improve metabolic processes, prevent the destruction of cartilage tissue , actively restore them and relieve pain. Popular non-hormonal agents are:

1. Goal T is a medicine for osteochondrosis with an anti-inflammatory effect, produced in Germany, contains 14 herbal ingredients. The product exhibits analgesic, chondrostimulating, metabolic, chondroprotective effects, strengthens ligaments, and stimulates the process of restoration of cartilage and bones. The medicine is used for polyarthrosis, periarthritis. The drug is contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to plant extracts from the Asteraceae family, sumac poison.

Price – from 480 rubles.

Irritating, distracting, warming effect

Anti-inflammatory ointment with a warming effect irritates the surface, which leads to vasodilation and increased blood flow to the site of application. This leads to an analgesic effect, intensive tissue nutrition and improvement of local metabolic processes. Popular medications:

1. Finalgon - contains nicoboxil, nonivamide, which lead to skin hyperemia. Indications are sports injuries of joints, ligaments, neuritis, sciatica, lumbago, rheumatism, arthritis.

Chondroprotectors

Ointments with chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects are used to stimulate restoration processes, tissue metabolism, slow down cartilage degeneration, and improve trophism of ligaments and muscles around the spine. The main element of the preparations is chondroitin sulfate, which improves the synthesis of connective tissue and relieves pain. Another important substance is glucosamine. Popular means:

1. Chondroitin, Chondroxide, Honda - medications based on dimethyl sulfoxide and chondroitin sulfate, treat chondrosis and osteoarthritis. The ingredients of the composition are obtained from the tissues of cattle. The use of ointments prevents the destructive process in cartilage, stimulates the restoration of joints, and increases the production of intra-articular fluid. Dimethyl sulfoxide has fibrinolytic and analgesic effects. The drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy, lactation, and childhood. They are applied 2-3 times a day for a course of up to 3 months. Cost – from 250 rubles.

3. Sofia - contains a complex of chondroitin and glucosamine, rosewood and sea buckthorn oil, plant extracts, beeswax. The drug has an analgesic effect and costs 100 rubles.

Features of the use of ointments for injuries

Treatment of injuries with anti-inflammatory ointments has its own characteristics. The main purpose of using drugs is to reduce swelling, reduce temperature, and relieve pain. The use of warming ointments in such situations is unacceptable.

For sprains, dislocations, and fractures, they try to use combined ointments. They usually contain a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory component and a cooling agent (menthol, levomenthol, essential oils, methyl salicylate).

Dicloran plus, Deep relief, Menovazan cope with pain and swelling in various injuries. Anti-inflammatory components reduce pain, and products with a cooling effect distract from the damaged area.

Reasons for appearance

Provocateurs of dermatitis on the legs are exogenous and endogenous factors.

Among the external causes leading to skin dermatitis are:

• Mechanical irritants. Inflammation occurs as a result of friction during physical activity (walking, sports training, work).
• Exposure to aggressive substances (cosmetics, acid, alkaline and saline solutions, poisons, household chemicals).
• Physical effects: the influence of UV rays, temperature changes, burns.
• Biological: allergens, fungi, bacteria, viruses.

Internal factors that cause dermatitis include:

• Endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus).
• Taking certain medications.
• Immune system disorder, weakening of defense mechanisms.
• Food allergic reactions.
• Being in stressful situations, experiencing negative emotions, diseases of the nervous system.
• Genetic predisposition.

Signs and symptoms

Manifestations of dermatitis on the legs depend on its etiology. Inflammations of various types occur on the skin of the extremities: from slight redness and swelling to eczema or psoriasis. Various external signs of the disease are presented in the photo below.

Inflammation of epithelial tissues is the main symptom of all types of dermatitis . Common signs of the disease include:

• redness of the skin, which occurs due to the overflow of blood vessels;
• swelling and swelling;
• increased temperature of the skin in the affected area;
• with large lesions, the general body temperature rises;
• heat localized to damaged areas;
• itching and burning sensation;
• skin tightness;
• trophic disorder (nutrition of skin cells);
• heterogeneous rash: papules, blisters, scales, ulcerations, cracking;
• secondary infection, the appearance of weeping and festering areas.

External symptoms are limited to one area (for example, they occur only on the toes) or spread throughout the entire limb (they occur on the feet, legs, hips, bend of the knee joint and other areas).

Extensive rashes appear with an allergic or toxic-allergic form of the disease.

In the acute stage on the skin:

• areas with swelling and blisters appear;
• opened blisters transform into ulcers, cracks, and scarring.

The chronic stage of the disease is accompanied by periodic formation of cracks and crusts.

Classification

It is quite difficult to divide dermatitis into separate types. So far, there is no unambiguous classification of pathology. The disease is divided into types, taking into account the following characteristics:

• localization of lesions (face, limbs, folds);
• area of ​​influence of negative factors (contact, atopic);
• the contact form of pathology is divided into simple and allergic;
• cause of the disease (allergic, toxic-allergic, inflammatory, infectious, fungal, stagnant);
• duration of course (chronic form and acute stage);
• type of rash (erythematous, vesicular, bullous, scaly);
• the nature of the symptoms (dry, weeping, itchy, purulent).

Venous

This form of the disease develops against the background of venous insufficiency of the lower extremities. The disease occurs in people suffering from varicose veins . The following are formed on the skin:

• hyperemic areas;
• dryness;
• seal locations;
• scales.

In severe cases of varicose dermatitis, ulcers form on the feet, legs and other parts of the legs. Treatment is aimed at eliminating varicose veins.

Allergic

When the body is exposed to an irritant, an allergic form of dermatitis develops. External signs of the disease are as follows:

• redness of the affected areas;
• small rash;
• itching and burning.

Increased intoxication leads to the formation of cracks and papules filled with liquid.

Doctors use tests to determine the allergen and eliminate contact with it. Symptomatic therapy will not give positive results if the impact of the irritant is not eliminated.

Cold

The reaction of skin vessels to low temperature is expressed by the development of cold dermatitis. There are 2 reasons for the occurrence of the disease:

1. Capillaries spasm when exposed to cold, resulting in impaired blood flow.
2. Due to the cold, skin proteins are transformed, which provokes an allergic reaction.

Infectious

This type of dermatitis is caused by various infectious diseases (measles, chickenpox, syphilis) . However, this form of the disease can develop as an independent pathology. The appearance of the disease is provoked by various pathogens:

What are the benefits of using “lubricating” chemistry?

1. Speed ​​difference. For professionals, the selection and use of high-quality lubricant is absolutely necessary - for them, the extra seconds gained (or even hundredths of a second, as in downhill skiing) or centimeters, like for biathletes, is the gap between world glory for eternity and obscurity. Remember the phrase: “No one remembers the silver medalist” - this is why the pros pay so much attention and take such care in preparing the sliding surface of their “working tools”. Incorrectly or poorly oiled skis can cost them too much, sometimes - the goal they have been working toward all their lives.

For amateurs, the difference in speed is not so life-determining, but, you see, it is much more pleasant to ski on the ski track when the “wind is whistling in your ears” than when you are pushing with all your might, but the skis simply do not go.

2. Security. If your skis or snowboard ride better and faster, it means they are more accurate and easier to control, which means your skiing is safer. In fact, turns on alpine skis or snowboards are easier to make when the speed is higher, every skier or snowboarder knows this.

3. A layer of ointment protects the polyethylene of the sliding surface from mechanical damage on the track, pollution and oxidation in the off-season. If you ski often and a lot, then the “bare” polyethylene becomes covered with micro-scratches and becomes contaminated with debris found on the ski track or ski slopes. The applied ointment protects against mechanical damage during skiing, and during the off-season, when skis or snowboards are stored idle, as a preservation it will protect your equipment from drying out and oxidizing.

In order to make sure how much the gliding on skis or a board differs significantly in the “with ointment” or “without ointment” options, just try to properly lubricate one ski from your set, and leave the second one “bare” - you will immediately feel the difference. Another good option is to go to official tests of equipment that is well prepared and there you can gain invaluable experience of skiing or boarding, which has been pre-treated and has a well-prepared sliding surface.

So, with the arguments “for” over, let’s see exactly what products are being offered to us this season by the world leader in the field of care for sliding surfaces, the SWIX company.

SWIX is one of the world leaders producing products for active sports. The founders, Borge Gabrielsson, president of the Swedish pharmaceutical company Astra Pharmaceuticals, and Martin Matsbo, a famous Swedish cross-country skier, introduced the world to a revolutionary ski lubricant called SWIX in 1946. The essence of the new product was that, unlike traditional ointments at that time, which were produced “by eye” and in the recipes of which there were often admixtures of natural ingredients: beeswax, resin, rubber, fats and oils, which made it impossible to produce the product with stable and predictable characteristics, SWIX ointments are manufactured in accordance with scientifically developed, precise, stable and predictable formulas from synthetic materials. SWIX was also the first to use convenient color codes that showed what temperature and snow conditions a given ointment was intended for: red, blue and green.

SWIX's first successes came after the Swedish team won all the gold medals in skiing at the 1948 Olympic Games in St. Moritz.

In 1949, the SWIX line of waxes was expanded to include alpine ski waxes, and in 1987, the revolutionary all-ski wax CERA F was introduced to the world, which is undoubtedly the most successful racing wax in ski history.

Since 1978, SWIX has been part of the Norwegian concern Ferd AS, most of the ointment production is located in Lillehammer.

From a humble beginning with a line of five ointments, SWIX is now a world leader in winter products. But the goal remains the same: to bring joy and pleasure from skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding to amateurs and success to professionals, providing products of the highest quality with excellent characteristics.

Currently, SWIX is the official supplier of ointments and accessories to the most successful cross-country skiing, biathlon, alpine skiing and snowboarding teams: Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, USA, Japan, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, China, Switzerland, Austria and Great Britain. In addition, SWIX is the official lubricant for world-famous ski marathons such as Birkebeiner and Vasaloppet.

Treatment

The choice of treatment methods is influenced by the cause that provoked the dermatitis. First of all, the root cause of the disease is eliminated.

But there are also generally accepted therapeutic methods for treating pathology, regardless of its characteristics.

Traditional medicine

To get rid of the disease, the following therapeutic measures and drugs are recommended:

• Elimination of the provoking factor. They stop interacting with the allergen, regulate the temperature, which negatively affects the health of the skin on the feet, thighs and other parts of the legs.
• Hypoallergenic diet.
• Reduced sensitivity of the skin to negative stimuli. Anti-allergenic agents: Allertek, Ketotifen.
• Antihistamines - Tavegil, Suprastin, Zyrtec, Zodak.
• Probiotics: Linex, Bifidumbacterin, Hilak Forte.
• For infectious dermatitis that occurs on the feet or elsewhere in the legs, medications are taken to eliminate the pathogen. Depending on the type of infection, Orungal, Lamifen, Nizoral, Rovamycin, Doxycycline, Sumamed, Zitrolide, Erythromycin are prescribed.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Ketorolac, Nimesulide, Diclofenac, Meloxicam.
• Corticosteroids (Advantan, Lokoid, Elidel ointments), which eliminate itching, burning, rash, and accelerate healing.
• Medicines intended for local treatment with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and antibiotic properties. Elokom, Diprosalik, Akriderm - relieve inflammation, Solcoseryl, D-panthenol, Bepanten - restore the skin. Erythromycin ointment - destroys bacteria, Triderm, Pimafukort - fight fungi, Fukortsin - kills microbes.
• Sorbents: Enterosgel, activated carbon.
• Antiviral agents: Acyclovir, Famvir, Valtrex, Alpizarin.
• Multivitamins (preparations with vitamins A, B, C, D, E, zinc, selenium).
• Immunomodulators (Cyclophosphamide, Myelosan).

To treat dermatitis with weeping lesions, powders and drying agents (Desitin, Zinc ointment) are used.

Folk recipes

Dermatitis is treated using traditional medicine methods . Herbal medicines are auxiliary means in the treatment of the disease.

1. Applications with a series help treat skin dermatitis. In the evening, boil 500 ml of water and pour it into a thermos. Then pour a tablespoon of hops and string into the liquid. In the morning the extract is filtered. A napkin soaked in herbal extract is fixed at the site of the lesion. Leave until dry.
2. Boil 500 ml of water, add 1 teaspoon of burdock rhizomes. After infusion for 10 hours and filtration, the extract is used for compresses according to the scheme described above. At the same time, the infusion is taken orally. Drink half a glass 3 times a day. Treatment is for 14 days.
3. Oak bark extract is an effective remedy for skin lesions. In the evening, pour 300 ml of boiling water into a thermos, add 2 tablespoons of bark. In the morning the extract is filtered. Used for applications.
4. Collection of herbs. Mix celandine, St. John's wort, valerian, sage and chamomile in equal quantities. Take 5 liters of boiling water, pour in 100 g of herbal mixture. After cooling, the extract is filtered and used for applications and baths.

OINTMENTS AND ACCELERATORS

The task of lubricating skis is to create traction with the snow so that the skis do not slip when moving in the classic style, or to reduce traction with the snow so that the skis slide. The lubrication process makes it possible to make the interaction of the ski surface as efficient as possible when interacting with the snow.

For ease of selection, next to each ointment, the temperature range and snow condition for which each ointment is intended and the number of grams in one package are indicated.

OINTMENTS “HOLDINGS”

They are used only and exclusively for cross-country, “classic” skis. “Holding” ointments are necessary so that when pushing off the ski does not slip back, i.e. there would be no rebound effect. “Hold” ointments are not used in classic skis with “notch” or where there is a “camus”, in alpine skis or for snowboards.

"Classic" holding paraffins

For stationary (using a profile machine and special devices: iron, brushes, etc.) application before competitions or a ski trip, or operative application and subsequent rubbing with a cork. Skiers take several packages with them to the start, so that if the weather changes, they can quickly change the layer of ointment by washing off the old one and applying a new one, manually applying it, followed by rubbing it with a cork brush over the plane of the ski.

More convenient to use holding ointments with two temperature intervals: for fresh and degenerated snow. V line holding ointments are traditional holding ointments intended for both athletes and amateurs. Even though these ointments do not contain fluoride additives, they work great because... they contain fully refined petroleum components, synthetic rubber and pharmaceutical oils. V line holding ointments are often used in top category competitions, either alone or in combination with VR holding ointments.

TIP: Always use a softer wax on older snow.

Despite the fact that VR line keeping ointments were developed for professional racers, they are of undoubted interest for mass sports and recreation due to their excellent qualities, especially at temperatures around 0°C. These holding ointments are characterized by a high degree of flexibility in application. Each VR ointment has two temperature applications, one for fresh or falling snow, characterized by sharp angled snow crystals with relatively high penetration, and the other for old snow, with rounded crystals and low penetration power.

Primers for holding paraffins. In order for grip ointments to stick better to the slippery, polyethylene base with graphite additives, and work better, the so-called. “primer” lubricants, which are applied to a surface cleaned with a remover or “sandpaper”, under holding ointments. There are different packaging and application options: spray, standard packaging - for application with an iron, applicators.

One of the solutions for a wide temperature range is Swix V90 aerosol soil for fine-grained and transformed snow, for temperatures from -1°C to -22°C. Allows solid holding ointment to be absorbed better and work longer. Very convenient for training and when you don't have an iron at hand.

“SLIDING” OINTMENTS

Unlike “hold” ointments, “glide” ointments are designed to provide maximum speed and reduce the coefficient of friction when moving on a snow surface, and this applies to cross-country skis, alpine skis, and snowboards. The process of selecting gliding ointments requires much more careful selection of the right solution for the appropriate weather conditions (especially for cross-country skis, as well as professional skiers and snowboarders). But don’t think that the “sliding” chapter is only for professionals. SWIX has easy-to-use solutions for amateurs who just want to slightly improve the quality of their gliding and protect the sliding surface as much as possible from mechanical damage and dirt - such solutions will not add super-speed to you, but the fact that you will go faster is a fact.

“Classic”, solid fluoride-free paraffins

“Classic” paraffins, fluorine-free. Affordable, the method of application is through fusing with a special iron onto the sliding surface of skis or snowboards and subsequent processing of the sliding surface of skis or snowboards.

Fluoride-free universal paraffins

Universal ointments are a convenient alternative to traditional paraffins if you are a snowboarder or an amateur skier and you do not want to waste time and effort on thoroughly preparing the sliding surface.

These quick-application gliding ointments differ in type and packaging:

• with a wide applicator for quick and economical application and a felt pad for polishing the sliding surface on the bottom of the package;
• in the form of a can of emulsion;
• in the form of an aerosol
• in the form of a piece of solid paraffin with cork rubbing included.

All of these universal ointments are designed for a wide temperature range of use and any snow condition.

This is especially true if you want to quickly lubricate your skis or snowboard. Just apply paraffin to the sliding surface of your skis or snowboard, smooth it out, let it dry for 10-15 minutes, polish it with rubbing and - go!

Spread it on, rub it in and go!

Liquid ointments with temperature ranges

SWIX liquid gliding ointments incorporate the best features of the most successful Cera Nova line in competition history and fit perfectly into the SWIX concept of “Quick and Easy Application”. In terms of speed and method of application, they are similar to universal ointments - exactly the same, 10-15 minutes are enough to prepare the sliding surface. The peculiarity of these paraffins is that their chemical composition takes into account the temperature of the snow and, accordingly, skis or snowboards glide better. This line is the best solution for consumers who care about the quality glide of their skis and snowboards, but do not want to spend time on lengthy processing.

Application:

• Shake the bottle;
• Press the applicator onto the sliding surface and apply the emulsion to the sliding areas;
• Let dry for 2 minutes;
• For best results, rub with a cork;

F6LNC Blue Glide ointment -4C to -15C, emulsion 80 ml

F7LNC Violet Glide ointment +1C to -6C, emulsion 80 ml

F8LNC Red Glide ointment 0C to +10C, emulsion 80 ml

Accelerators

Accelerators are highly concentrated powders used as a final coating (on top of base wax) to maximize gliding performance. They are used mainly by top athletes, experts, professionals - fans of speed, those who value the gains of fractions of a second and centimeters of distance. They are practically not used by amateurs due to the small dosage, high price per gram of weight, narrow temperature range and the need to use special tools for application. The peculiarity of “accelerators” is that they “work” over very short distances - from 1 to 5 km, and are quickly applied - which is why they are often used by skiers and snowboarders, as well as sprint skiers, who can “update” their properties between attempts sliding surface.

Fluoride slip ointments

In the world of amateurs and professional perfectionists, ointments with a high fluoride content are highly respected. Fluoride supplements are believed to give better performance in low temperature, high humidity (>60%) environments. Such ointments are significantly more expensive than ordinary, fluoride-free ones and are used by those skiers and snowboarders who value any argument for victory.

Ointments with low fluoride content are used when the snow moisture level is about 60%

Sprays with liquid paraffins containing fluoride

Liquid lubricants are an excellent alternative to traditional gliding ointments, which require time and special tools to apply. They can replace paraffin waxes in most weather conditions. If you are looking for a quick, low-tech solution to improve your speed on a ski track or slope, then liquid waxes packaged in spray form work very well. You can apply them at any time, you just need to take out a can of spray, shake it vigorously, spray it on the sliding surface of your skis or snowboard, let it dry, polish it using cork rubbing and enjoy skiing!

However, in order for liquid paraffins to work effectively and to protect the sliding surface, we recommend periodically treating your skis with hard paraffins using an iron. New skis or skis with an updated structure require a mandatory impregnation with base waxes applied using the hot method before using liquid lubricants.

Liquid, high-fluoride paraffins HF are a new product from SWIX for the 2019 – 2021 season.

New, professional lubricants that are easy to use and guarantee not only excellent glide, but also high abrasion resistance.

SWIXFACTOR: very resistant to mechanical abrasion

Super-effective liquid high-fluoride paraffins - sprays can be used as an independent racing gliding ointment, and as a base layer for SWIX powders and other “accelerators”.

The HF line of liquid paraffins was developed in close collaboration with professional athletes and showed excellent results when tested at the World Cup.

In terms of abrasion resistance, liquid HF paraffins are not inferior to solid ones, and often surpass traditional gliding ointments in briquettes, which must be applied “hotly”.

Swix HF liquid paraffins are presented in the form of an aerosol with a Bag-on-Valve system that works in any position, including upside down, and is easily applied to the surface. This form of paraffin is easy to use even for beginner skiers and is safer for health, because Fewer lubricant particles are released into the air compared to the application of solid waxes by melting. However, we recommend using well-ventilated areas to minimize solvent vapor concentrations.

The graph shows the hardness of HFX and HFBWX ointments depending on their index. The hardness of ointments with indexes 4, 5 and 6 is identical. HFBWX ointments 7, 8 and 10 are significantly harder than HFX ointments in these categories. The biggest difference can be seen between the ointments: HF10BWX has the same hardness as HFX6, while HFX10 ointment has a softer consistency. It should be noted that the HF10BWX has a higher fluoride content than the HF06BWX for better performance in wet snow, especially in disciplines such as downhill skiing and long distance cross-country skiing. Higher hardness waxes 7, 8 and 10BWX absorb less dirt on wet and wet contaminated snow. BWX ointments contain a special lubricant additive that reduces friction on dirty snow and under dry friction conditions at very low temperatures on cold transformed snow. HF ointments work best in clean, fresh and fine-grained snow.

This graph demonstrates under what conditions HFX ointments perform better than HFBWX, and vice versa. On new and clean snow, the choice of HFX waxes is obvious, as well as in conditions of transition from fine-grained to transformed snow. Under old snow conditions, HFX and BWX ointments work almost identically, and therefore it is difficult to give preference to one or another category. And finally, as can be seen from the graph, BWX ointments are most relevant for artificial snow. When moving from clean to contaminated snow, the predominant use of ointments in the BWX category clearly begins to predominate, as in the case of artificial snow. This is explained by the chemical composition of these products - the presence of a solid lubricant additive BW, which has the properties to repel dirt most effectively and has high wear resistance on hard aggressive snow. In very dirty snow, the choice of BWX is relevant for all snow conditions.

Protective de-icer sprays for the holding area of ​​cross-country skis “ZERO”

100% fluorocarbon sprays to help de-ice fresh wet snow and near freezing temperatures (0°C). They are applied to the grip area of ​​classic racing skis with a special “ZERO” polymer coating in the last area or to skis treated with the traditional “sanding” method. The sprayer is located in the end area of ​​the bottle. Cross-country skis “ZERO” are skis for racing or touring with a grip zone consisting of a rough and, to some extent, elastic polymer material. The elements responsible for the holding mechanism are distributed over the entire area of ​​the pad area. Within a certain temperature range and snow conditions, this material functions as a holding ointment.

Apply to the previously sanded sliding surface in the holding area. Prevents snow from sticking and icing of the sliding surface. Can also be used over any grip lubricant. Improves glide without compromising grip. Directions for use: apply the liquid within the holding area using the applicator, let it dry for 1-2 minutes.

N2C Anti-icer protective spray Racing “ZERO” 50 ml

N6C Economical de-icer spray “ZERO” 70 ml

SWIX ointment kits

Packages with ointment kits use several types of ointments with different temperature ranges and different purposes: for sliding and for holding, as well as tools for processing the sliding surface: rubbing, brushes, scrapers. Buying such a kit is very convenient: you will always have at hand the necessary and sufficient set of necessary tools to improve the quality of gliding of skis or snowboards.

Prevention

Leg dermatitis is a complex pathology. Reviews from people suffering from this disease directly indicate the difficulties of treatment.

To prevent the occurrence of the disease, you must follow the preventive rules:

• Eat rationally using hypoallergenic foods. The body must receive the required amount of nutrients and vitamins.
• Give adequate physical activity.
• Avoid contact with allergens.
• Do hygiene procedures for feet.
• Wear comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes.
• Strengthen immunity.
• Treat various infections and chronic diseases in a timely manner.

If symptoms of dermatitis appear on the legs, you should immediately visit a doctor . It is much easier to treat the disease at the initial stage than in its advanced form. Self-medication for dermatitis is pointless and dangerous. Only a doctor is able to identify the causes of the disease and select appropriate medications and folk remedies to eliminate the problem.

Human feet are often exposed to fungi and other pathogens that contribute to the development of dermatitis. This is a clear signal that you need to see a doctor who will select the optimal treatment. Complex therapy includes cream, gel and ointment for dermatitis on the legs. The external agent has a different spectrum of action and relieves pain, swelling, redness and inflammatory reactions.

Recommendations for the use of ointments and paraffins SWIX

• Use eco-friendly and biodegradable ointments and products whenever possible.
• Ensure good ventilation of the areas where work is carried out.
• Always use protective masks with recommended filters when working. Do not forget that after completion of work, small particles remain in the air for some time.
• Protective masks must fit correctly and tightly. Replace the filters in your mask before the start of at least every season. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the care and cleaning of this equipment.
• Always use gloves when working with liquid ointments and washes.
• Do not heat irons above recommended temperatures. Clean the working surface of the iron before and after use.
• Heat guns and gas burners must not be used indoors to lubricate skis. Volatile particles and dust that may contain fluorocarbon can form toxic compounds when exposed to high temperatures.
• Smoking is prohibited in ski waxing areas. Tobacco smoke and fine dust particles containing fluorocarbon are a very dangerous mixture.
• Eating in ski waxing areas is not recommended.
• Be sure to collect and dispose of any remaining lubricants after completion of work. Use special containers for this.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after finishing using cleaning products.

Types of ointments

All ointments and creams used for leg dermatitis differ in their components. Some include synthetic ingredients, while others are completely natural. The classification also subdivides local drugs according to their effect on the body:

• hormonal;
• non-hormonal;
• antifungal;
• non-steroidal with anti-inflammatory action;
• restorative.

How does hormonal cream work?

The ointment is used exclusively in the absence of visible results in the treatment of dermatitis with non-hormonal agents. An effective hormonal drug is selected by the attending physician. They come in 4 types, which are presented in the table:

Benefits of non-hormonal ointments

Treatment of dermatitis on the legs with ointments of this type is indicated in the initial stages. They are characterized by high effectiveness and minimal risks of complications. The following non-hormonal drugs are distinguished:

Antifungal and antibacterial agents

If fungi and bacteria become the source of pathology on the legs, antibiotics or an antifungal drug are used. An advanced stage of dermatitis is an indication for a dermatologist to prescribe the use of antibacterial ointments together with tablets of a similar effect. The drug is selected individually for the patient, and depends on the type of pathogen and the severity of damage to the skin of the legs. Good results are observed after use:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Prescribed for dermatitis accompanied by stagnant processes. When applying ointments of this effect, the inflammatory reaction on the epidermis and in the subcutaneous venous plexuses is stopped. The following NSAIDs are considered effective:

Wound healing

Thanks to such ointments, the skin on the legs is restored. When ulcers or necrosis appear, complex therapy necessarily includes local medications with regenerative effects. They contain natural substances that do not cause adverse reactions. Effective are:

Remedies for swelling

Some pathological processes associated with joints and sprains are accompanied not only by pain, but also by significant swelling. This condition complicates the blood supply and penetration of drugs to the site of inflammation.

The best way to deal with the problem of edema due to the inflammatory process are products that contain several components. It is optimal if the ointment for edema contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an angioprotector. The combination copes well with the consequences of joint and ligament injuries.

Treatment of edema against the background of muscle and joint pain is best done using the Indovazin gel. The drug contains the angioprotector troxerutin and the anti-inflammatory component indomethacin. Troxerutin tones, strengthens the vascular wall, prevents the penetration of fluid into tissues, and indomethacin eliminates pain and inflammation.

Dolobene gel is suitable for eliminating swelling, muscle pain caused by neuralgia, injuries of bones and ligaments. Ointment for sprains and pain includes heparin, dexpanthenol and dimethyl sulfoxide. Heparin exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, improves blood flow, and restores the function of connective tissue. Dexpanthenol regenerates tissue.

Dimethyl sulfoxide penetrates deeply into tissues, delivering the remaining active ingredients to muscles and blood vessels. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, dimethyl sulfoxide helps to cope with severe pain due to ligament damage, as well as in neurological pathologies.

Ointments and gels, which include extracts of leech, horse chestnut, and white acacia, tone blood vessels and eliminate swelling. The drugs are successfully used for injuries, help cope with hematomas and impaired venous function.

Review of effective ointments

Pharmacy drugs

Most often, creams with synthetic ingredients are used for dermatitis, which can be purchased at any pharmacy without a prescription. Common means are:

1. "Bepanten." It is recommended to apply it when the skin of the feet dries out and cracks appear. Suitable for the treatment of various types of dermatitis, but at an early stage. You can use analogues: “Panthenol”, “D-Panthenol”, “Pantoderm”.
2. "Exoderil". Used for undetermined cause of dermatitis. Affordable and effective.
3. "Fenistil". Reduces itchy and painful manifestations of skin diseases, and also eliminates eczema.
4. “We see.” Contains retinol palmitate, which stimulates regenerative processes and slows down keratinization.
5. "Solcoseryl". Indicated for the treatment of difficult to heal wounds on the legs.

Homemade

Therapy is used after consultation with the treating doctor, since unwanted reactions are possible. Often used:

• Sea buckthorn ointment. Requires 2 tsp for cooking. sea ​​buckthorn oil and 50 g of baby cream. The components are thoroughly mixed and applied several times a day to the feet.
• Tea tree oil. The product eliminates microbes, fungi and normalizes blood flow in the injured limb.

Vasoconstrictor ointments for the nose

This group of drugs, when used topically, causes constriction of blood vessels, relieves swelling of the mucous membrane, hyperemia of the nasopharynx, reduces the amount of nasal discharge and makes breathing easier. As a rule, such drugs have a complex chemical composition, multiple contraindications and side effects. For these reasons, you can use products based on vasoconstrictor components only after consultation with an otolaryngologist.

Galazolin

This is a vasoconstrictor gel for topical use in ENT practice. The main active component of xylometazoline hydrochloride begins to act 5-10 minutes after application, and its therapeutic effect lasts for 10 hours. The medication has a large list of indications: allergic and bacterial rhinitis, runny nose of viral origin, hay fever, chronic sinusitis. Due to the fact that Galazolin has a complex composition, it is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age and for:

• atrophic rhinitis;
• hypersensitivity to the composition;
• pregnancy;
• breastfeeding;
• severe atherosclerosis;
• arterial hypertension;
• tachycardia;
• after surgery.

Rules of use and contraindications

In order for the ointment to work better for dermatitis, you need to know how to use it correctly. It is recommended to follow the following sequence of actions:

1. Rinse the skin of your feet with running water using hypoallergenic products.
2. Dry your limbs thoroughly by blotting with a towel.
3. Apply a thin layer to the skin, spreading evenly over the surface.
4. Wait 5-10 minutes until the product dries completely.

Even effective ointments for dermatitis on the legs cause adverse reactions and are not recommended for everyone. The main contraindication to the use of a local remedy is individual intolerance to the active substances. Topical medications are not used for sexually transmitted diseases, herpes or chickenpox. Infection with helminths is a contraindication to the use of hormonal drugs.

Triderm ointment or cream: what is the difference

The pharmaceutical industry produces two types of formulations for the external treatment of skin inflammation - cream and ointment. The creamy consistency is quickly absorbed and concentrated in the surface layers of the skin. Ointment - absorbs longer, leaves a greasy mark on the surface, while penetrating into the deeper subcutaneous layers. Therefore, it is used for serious indications (severe inflammation), and also, if necessary, to apply the composition under a bandage.

Triderm cream and ointment also differ in the following:

• The cream contains more auxiliary components (propylene glycol, phosphoric acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, alcohol). Therefore, the cream causes allergic reactions more often than an ointment with the same name (where the additional components contain only a paraffin or petroleum jelly base).
• The cream is prescribed for dermatitis. Ointment – ​​for psoriasis .
• The cream is used for weeping inflammations, and the ointment is used for dry ones..
• Due to the presence of preservatives, the cream has a long shelf life (up to 3 years), and the ointment has a short shelf life (only 2 years).
• The ointment is a fatty composition, it stains clothes and is applied under the bandage. The cream is quickly absorbed and does not stain clothes.

Now let’s take a look at what the instructions for use say about Triderm ointment. What features of the action of the ointment composition do you need to know?
