Love her, care about her, and understand the maintenance and maintenance of artificial limbs together.

Everyone knows that cars need maintenance. As long as the vehicle is maintained regularly according to scientific maintenance methods, all parts of the car can always maintain good performance and extend the service life and safety of the car. The same goes for our prostheses, which also require us to do certain care and maintenance. Let’s learn about how to care for and maintain prosthetic limbs.

1. For prosthetic limbs that contain electrical components and precision mechanical systems, they should be protected from moisture, external impact, and dirt. It is also best to find professionals for regular inspection and maintenance (this is free of charge).

2. Plastic parts such as plates and resin in the prosthetic structure must not come into contact with acids, alkalis, fire, colored solutions, or hard foreign objects to prevent corrosion, staining, melting, and rupture.

3． When looseness or abnormalities are found in the joints and joints of the prosthetic limb, timely inspection and repair must be carried out (this cannot be compromised, and if there is any problem, you must find the organization).

4. The decorative coat of the prosthetic limb is easily damaged. If the user finds small damage, he should repair it to extend its service life. Do not wait for the damage to become larger before repairing it.

5. It is very important to keep the inner surface of the socket clean. The socket is in direct contact with the skin. If the inner surface of the socket is not clean for a long time, it will increase the risk of infection of the residual limb and make it uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, users should wash the residual limb frequently and wipe the inner wall of the socket frequently to keep it dry and clean.

6． When using the prosthetic socket liner, you should try to keep it dry and clean; when using residual limb socks, you should prepare a few more residual limb socks and replace them with clean residual limb socks every day (if you don’t have residual limb socks, you can leave a message at the bottom of the article. If there are many people, the editor will organize a group purchase for everyone).

7. Also pay attention to the occurrence of cracks in the socket. Small cracks will appear on the surface of the resin socket, which may injure the skin of the residual limb. Professionals should be consulted to resolve the problem.
