Prosthesis Care
Wearers of a passive functional prosthesis should wash their prosthesis every day. If you have a living-
skin
TM
custom covering for a prosthesis, you should wash the outside regularly, taking care not to allow
water inside. Use warm water and soap, clean inside and out. It is important to not use soaps which con-
tain any additives or perfumes such as aloe or vitamin E. Recommended soap is Dawn original formula
or Sunlight dish detergent. A small soft nail brush may be used with extreme care.
CAUTION:
Some soaps contain additives such as oil, perfumes, glycerin or aloe and should be avoided.
Clean the inside and outside of your device with 70-90% isopropyl alcohol after every use.
Body perspiration contains oils which can accumulate and damage the prosthesis if not removed by
proper cleaning. Failure to keep your prosthesis clean as instructed above will void the warranty.
Never wear your prosthesis overnight. Continual use may cause skin irritation.
Never wear your prosthesis over unhealed cuts or sores.
Avoid all oils and oily substances.
Many hair and body products contain oils and
should be used only when you are not wearing the prosthesis. Exposure to oils and
oily substances will make the prosthesis look shiny. Do not use oil control cleansers to
manage shine - these are abrasive and will add to the shiny look of the device.
Don’t bathe or shower in your prosthesis.
Use of oil-based lubricants can destroy the prosthesis and will void the warranty.
If you
need to apply oil or lotion to your skin, wait at least 30 minutes for it to be completely
absorbed before putting your prosthesis on.
