6.4 Donning the prosthetic glove
INFORMATION
Do not use silicone spray when putting on the prosthetic glove. This impairs the secure fit of the
glove and can limit the functionality of the product (hand).
Observe the instructions for use provided for the prosthetic glove and the process for putting it
on and taking it off described in the same.
INFORMATION
Avoid exposing the product without a prosthetic glove to direct sunlight or UV light (solarium) for
extended periods.
Wearing the bebionic hand with the prosthetic glove is recommended for daily use. The glove
protects the mechanism against environmental influences such as moisture, dirt and dust.
Donning mode for the terminal device must be
activated before pulling on the prosthetic glove
(see page 21). Donning mode is ideal for put
ting on clothes and jackets as this mode pre
vents the thumb from getting caught in clothing
and therefore reduces breaking of the thumb.
For information about the use (putting on and taking off) and care of the prosthetic glove, please
refer to the instructions for use included with the prosthetic glove.
