Residual Limb Treatment and Hygiene
Caring for your residual limb on a daily basis is essential. Washing your residual limb with skin-
friendly soap can prevent skin problems. Use special care products such as Derma Prevent,
Derma Repair and Derma Clean.
Volume Fluctuations
As a prosthesis wearer, you should pay special attention to your weight since any fluctuations will
have a direct impact on the fit of your prosthesis. Minor volume fluctuations over the course of the
day are normal and can be balanced with residual limb socks. To avoid major swelling of your
residual limb, it is advisable to dress the residual limb with compression material when you are
not wearing a prosthesis (e.g. compression shrinker sock, standard liner, or elastic bandages).To
avoid swelling of your residual limb when you are not wearing the prosthesis, it is important to
compress the residual limb by applying a compression sock, standard liner or residual limb band­
ages.
If you have additional questions regarding volume fluctuations, please consult your doctor or
prosthetist.
