The acceptance cavity of a prosthetic limb is a part that directly contacts with the human stump. The adaptability of the acceptance cavity directly affects the patient's experience of the use of the prosthetic limb.
Today, Youbang will explain to you some adaptation and maintenance methods for the acceptance cavity, hoping to help you.
1. Runing-in and adaptation of the stump and the receiving cavity: there should be a period of adaptation between the stump and the receiving cavity during the installation of the prosthetic limb, especially after the first installation. There will be uncomfortable feeling at the beginning of use, such as squeezing, pain, local redness and swelling, etc. After a period of use, the stump will gradually adapt.
If the stump still does not adapt after trying, and the pain is aggravated, and there is abrasion, it means that the acceptance cavity is not suitable, and it needs to be repaired by the prosthesis company.
2. Relaxation of the receiving cavity: After the use of the prosthesis for a period of time, some receiving cavities will become loose, especially for the patients who are fitted with the prosthesis before the stump is finalized. At this time, several layers of sock gloves can be added to adjust.
If the sock is added to four layers, the accepting cavity is still loose, it is necessary to replace the accepting cavity.
3. Maintenance of the receiving cavity in winter: it is recommended to clean the stump and receiving cavity with light salt water every few days, and the receiving cavity should be kept dry. The stump needs to be properly treated with moisturizing products in winter to avoid skin cracking.
