Key Features

• Prosthetic Compatibility: Specifically engineered for use with prosthetic limbs, accommodating the unique shape and components of a prosthesis.
• Professional-Grade Construction: High-quality, durable materials designed for reliable performance in both clinical and home care environments.
• Small Size Design: Compact aid tailored for smaller prosthetic devices, pediatric prosthetics, or below-knee applications with narrower dimensions.
• Secure Application: Ensures the compression stocking is applied evenly and securely over the prosthetic socket and residual limb, preventing wrinkles or bunching.
• Specialized Functionality: Addresses the unique challenges faced by amputee patients in applying compression garments, which are often essential for managing swelling and shaping the limb.
• Promotes Independence: Empowers amputee patients to manage their own compression therapy, fostering self-reliance and improving quality of life.
• Reduces Caregiver Strain: Makes it easier for caregivers or clinicians to apply stockings over prosthetics, reducing the time and effort required.
• Protects the Prosthesis: Helps prevent damage to the prosthetic liner or socket that could occur from fingernails or improper pulling during manual application.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Post-Amputation Edema Control: Enables the use of compression stockings to manage and reduce swelling (edema) in the residual limb, which is critical for prosthetic fit and comfort.
• Residual Limb Shaping & Care: Helps apply compression garments that shape the residual limb and maintain its volume for a consistent prosthetic fit.
• Promotes Healthy Blood Flow: Supports healthy blood flow in the residual limb, which is important for tissue health and preventing circulatory issues.
• Prevents Complications: Aids in the application of garments that can help prevent skin breakdown, verrucous hyperplasia, and other residual limb complications.
• Supports Phantom Pain Management: By enabling consistent wear of compression garments, it may contribute to managing phantom limb sensations and pain for some individuals.
• Facilitates Prosthetic Hygiene: Allows for easier application of clean stockings over the prosthesis, promoting better hygiene and skin health.
• Post-Surgical Amputation Care: Useful during the early phases of rehabilitation after amputation surgery, when swelling is significant and the limb is sensitive.
• Professional Rehabilitation Tool: Used by prosthetists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to train patients in self-care and ensure proper garment application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a regular donning aid?
It is specifically shaped and designed to fit over and work with the contours of a prosthetic limb, accounting for the socket, pylon, and other components that a regular leg does not have.

How do I choose the right size for my prosthesis?
The "Small" size is for smaller prosthetic devices. You should measure the circumference and length of your prosthetic socket and compare it to the product's sizing guidelines. Your prosthetist can best advise you.

Can it be used for above-the-knee (AK) prostheses?
The small size is typically for below-knee (BK) or smaller AK prostheses. For larger AK devices, a "Large" size may be required. Check the specific product dimensions.

Does it work with all types of prosthetic liners?
It is designed to work over most common prosthetic liners (e.g., silicone, gel, foam). However, test carefully to ensure it doesn't pull or damage the liner material.

How do I clean the aid?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge. Air dry completely.

Can it help with applying a stump shrinker?
Yes, it can be very effective for applying elasticated stump shrinker socks over the residual limb, which can be particularly challenging to do by hand.
