Blisters
Blisters themselves can cause other more serious problems when an athlete adjusts his or her movements in reaction to the pain caused by the blister.  For example, Mark Hubbard, president of American Specialty Underwriters, a leading baseball insurer, found that blisters sometimes cause pitchers to adjust their throwing mechanics just enough to expose them to more serious shoulder or elbow injuries. Due to the high cost of disabled pitchers (some costing $100 million a year in wasted salary), some teams will avoid such expense and pull the pitcher before the blister causes such problems.

While Neosporin and other polysporin agents on the market provide antibiotic therapy for cuts and abrasion, there is virtually no other product on the market today other than SRO that has successfully targeted blister related injuries. Blisters are a common problem for other sports, including tennis, gymnastics, baseball, weightlifting, ballet, etc.

By applying SRO to blisters, pitchers are able to play without adjusting form or ball grip.  Over twenty professional baseball teams use SRO and have expressed tremendous satisfaction with the product and suggested that it is the only product from which they have found an adequate remedy for the blisters.  Ballet teachers and coaches have voiced similar concerns over blisters and have found similar successes with SRO.  It is not uncommon for ballet dancers to continue their practice with broken toes and blisters commonly left open and raw.  SRO protects the blister and toughens the skin while providing an antibiotic treatment to prevent infection.

Road Rash & Abrasions
Studies indicate that road rash and abrasions constitute another common use of SRO.  On average, sports medicine physicians see at least eight to twenty patients per week who suffer from carpet burn, road rash and various abrasions.

By targeting road rash, SRO hopes to establish itself in a specific niche of the market, which like the blister market, has been neglected. The goal of road rash therapy is to seal and heal the injury.  Commonly, a player will be prevented from playing because his wound reopens and begins to bleed. Athletic regulation prohibits any player from continued play where the wound continues to bleed.  Current therapy options include local dressing and topical antibiotics, neither of which has proven successful.  SRO, however, covers the entire injury and seals it, preventing any blood to escape while simultaneously acting to heal the wound.

Lacerations, Incisions & Burns
SRO has been used on all types of wounds over the past six years with great results.  The people that try this product see such great results that they now have it in their medicine cabinet instead of the other remedies that are available.
