Actually, prosthetics are machines that need the same maintenance as our cars.

Check and repair the prosthesis receiving cavity and other components regularly to extend the service life of the prosthesis.

Establish daily care routines

 
In order to keep the best use of prosthetic limbs, we must learn how to maintain them in daily care. Here we can teach you some simple nursing steps to ensure our daily prosthetic care:

• After the prosthesis is removed, the stump is cleaned daily.
• During the cleaning process, wash with mild soapy water and wipe gently with a towel or leave to dry.
• After the prosthesis is removed, check our stump for pressure, swelling, or any physical discomfort.
• If the stump sweats, we can apply baking soda to the area between the prosthesis and the cavity to prevent friction between the cavity and the amputation area.
• Apply a fragrance-free lotion to the stump and massage it into the skin.
• Then wipe the inside of the cavity with a towel and soapy water and let the cavity dry naturally.
• Note the occurrence of crack in the receiving cavity.
• Small cracks may develop on the surface of the resin cavity, which may damage the skin of the limb. If any damage or deformation is detected, contact our prosthetic technician as soon as possible.
• When using the lining sleeve of the receiving cavity, it should be kept dry and clean as far as possible;
• When using stump sleeve, several stump sleeve should be prepared, and clean stump sleeve should be replaced every day.
• If you are a leg amputee, be sure to wear shoes that are suitable for the height of the prosthesis.
• The electrical and precision mechanical system in the prosthetic structure should avoid dampness, impact and sticky dirt. Joints and joints may occasionally become loose. If abnormalities are found or the decorative coat is damaged, professionals must be found to check and repair in time to extend the service life of the prosthetic.
• The plastic parts in the prosthetic structure should not be in contact with acid, alkali, high temperature, organic solvents and hard external objects to prevent corrosion, staining, dissolution and rupture.

Thanks to advances in prosthetic technology, we can enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle while wearing prosthetic limbs.

Specific prosthetics may be required for certain activities.

Be sure to discuss with the prosthetics technician our goals and desired lifestyle so that we can continue all the activities we enjoy.

After your first fitting, you need professional training to build endurance.

We may need assistive equipment at first.

Consistently perform physical therapy exercises to improve equipment comfort and overall endurance.

Adjustment and maintenance

We need to go to a prosthesis company for maintenance at least once a year.

In this process, we must feed back the problems encountered with the use of prosthetics to our prosthetics technicians, so that they can better adjust.

If there is any problem or damage to the prosthesis, please contact our prosthesis technician as soon as possible to repair the prosthesis and avoid further damage to the prosthesis.

USA Yoband prosthetic innovation technology is shared, focussing on financial and material resources, focusing on and producing its own research and development, giving full play to its unique core competitive advantages, and fully integrating global resources with international peers for the benefit of disabled friends! So when selecting a prosthetic company, the amputee who installs prosthetic limbs must investigate on the spot to determine whether the prosthetic company really has a technical team to make a prosthetic receptor cavity. The qualified prosthetic receptor cavity plays a key role in their own comfortable experience and prosthetic walking gait.
