☀ In the heat for a while? Remember to take your prosthesis off a few times throughout the day. Dry off your residual limb with a towel and changing your liner as needed!

Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry your liner so that there is no build up of germs or bacteria.

When you are planning to be out in the warm weather it is important to be prepared. Pack a bag that will have everything you might need. Make sure you have extra ply socks, a towel and an extra liner. Some amputees use an antiperspirant to reduce perspiration. There are some antiperspirants that can be prescribed to help with sweat that causes irritation.

Skin rashes can sometimes develop when wearing a prosthetic liner, but understanding why can help you prevent or manage them. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

❓Why Does this Happen?
A rash may appear near the top of the liner, often due to how the liner is applied. Tip: Always roll on your liner, don’t pull to avoid wrinkles, which can cause friction and irritation.

🔹 Other Possible Causes:
Heat inside the socket can also contribute to skin issues.
Dirty prosthetic socks: If you wear socks inside your socket, be sure to wash them regularly to keep them clean.

If the rash persists or if you're unsure, always reach out to your prosthetist for advice. Your comfort and skin health are our top priority!

Staying active is a huge part of life and you deserve a prosthesis that can help you stay active and healthy when you're on the move.

Did you know that you can switch out your prosthesis depending on what activity you're doing? Whether you're running, swimming, or hiking, we can help you find the right prosthesis to fit your lifestyle. Trust us when we say - having the right prosthesis can make all the difference in keeping you comfortable and confident as you move.

🏃‍For runners: unlike everyday prosthetic limbs, running-specific prosthesis are designed to handle high-impact movement, absorb shock and help propel the runners forward.

🏊 For swimmers: prosthetic limbs that are designed for swimming will prioritize waterproof and rust free components.

🚴For cyclists: depending on your situation, you may be able to use your current prosthesis with cycling aids or have your prosthesis adjusted to accommodate riding.

🥾For hikers: durable and lightweight prosthesis can help you take longer hikes as you build up your stamina.

Whatever your passion, our team is here to help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Whether it is a new prosthesis, making the required adjustments or recommending daily aids to keep you doing what you love, let's not let your prosthesis dictate your life. Check out our article for more information or just give us a call!
