Prosthetic Care
Prosthetic devices form an important and indispensable part of a person’s life. Thus, it is only fair that good care is taken of prosthetic devices to ensure maximum comfort and longevity. Taking care of prosthetic devices is not difficult. Only a few things need to be kept in mind, like:
Keep Prosthetics Clean and Dry
Your real limb must be washed regularly with soap and water to avoid the build-up of sweat, dust, bacteria and other harmful elements. The inside of the prosthesis must be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Prevent Water Damage
You must remember to remove your prosthesis if you plan to go swimming or to indulge in any activity that could result in your prosthesis coming in contact with salt water or freshwater. In case you are involved in water sports, consider opting for a waterproof prosthesis.
Exercise Care During Storage
At times when you are not wearing your prosthesis, it is imperative to exercise due caution in storing it. The best idea would be to store the prosthesis against a wall where it is unlikely for the prosthesis to get bumped or knocked over due to contact or impact. All prostheses must be stored away from heated environments and direct sunlight.
Do Not Adjust Your Prosthesis
In case you experience discomfort while wearing your prosthesis or feel that the prosthesis has become too tight or too loose, get in touch with your prosthetist on an immediate basis. Do not, in any situation, attempt to adjust any part of the prosthesis on your own.
