Handling & Care

An excerpt from THE ART OF CLINICAL ANAPLASTOLOGYby Keith F. Thomas
 
Placing the prosthesis: 
  • Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the inside margin of the prosthesis.
  • Gently slide the prosthesis into position on the residual stump - ensure that it is in the correct alignment.
  • Gently pull on the prosthesis in a forward motion to create a passive vacuum.
  • DO NOT pull on the fine edges – they will tear!!!
 
Removing the prosthesis:
  • Gently squeeze the prosthesis to break the vacuum.
  • Pull forward gently rotating the prosthesis until it is removed from the residual stump.
  • Under no circumstance pull or grip the thin terminal margins of the prosthesis, as they will tear.
 
Cleaning the prosthesis:
  • The prosthesis should be washed gently in a solution of hand hot water and liquid soap (i.e. hand soap or hair shampoo.)
  • Ensure all traces of Vaseline are removed.
  • Pat dry with a tissue.
  • Try not to rub the surface of the prosthesis excessively.
  • Clean the skin in the normal manner.
 
Storing:
  • Store your prosthesis in a box so that the thin edges are not distorted, or under undue pressure.
 
Statement:
  • The prosthesis is only designed for: cosmetic, light grip or keyboard use. It is not designed for manual work or washing dishes etc.
  • Should you experience any problem with either your prosthesis or your skin, please contact me and discontinue use immediately.
