Let's go through some tips on how to take the right care of your prosthetic leg :

1. Do not attempt adjusting your prosthetic by yourself - Contact your Prosthetist for support as self adjustment might lead to worsening in the alignment and comfort.

2.Add a remider for daily cleaning - The parts of your liner that come in contact with you skin can be wiped with normal soap/water to ensure cleanliness and prevent bacteria from proliferating.

3. Don't submerge your device under water unless advised i.e don't swim without consulting your Prosthetist.

4. Don't lift anything beyond the weight limit given by your Prosthetist.

5. Examine the parts daily to ensure proper functioning of your device.

What makes us different?

In the traditional prosthetic manufacturing process, a plaster cast is wrapped around the affected area and removed once it has hardened. Plaster is poured into the mold taken to reproduce the patient's foot. The plaster is then heaped or scraped and adjusted to finish the model.

At Instalimb, we conduct a consultation as part of the normal prosthetic foot fabrication process, identifying and taking measurements of the critical areas of the patient's Stump. With Instalimb, on the other hand, we use our proprietary technology to perform a 3D scan of the stump and create the model on the data. The model is then created all at once using a 3Ⅾ printer instead of plaster. This process allows us to create a prosthetic leg that fits the patient.

Then, as in the normal manufacturing process, a fit check is performed to ensure that the prosthesis fits the patient well, and final adjustments are made.

Why is bandaging important? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Let's consider two scenarios for below knee amputees :

1. Where you don't bandage your stump - Your stump will shrink and get smaller, this will lead to your socket becoming loose. This will not only decrease your comfort while wearing a prosthetic but it may even result in the need of a new prosthetic in about 6 months (worst case scenario)

2. Where you regularly bandage your stump - Your stump shape will be stable and small enough after a few weeks of bandaging. This will result in your stump fitting the socket for a long and comfortable wear.

Stump care is of utmost importance :

- Wash your limb with mild soap and water every day.

- Check your limb for red pressure patches, skin breakdown, marks every day.

- In case of reduced or no sensation in your stump (residual limb), do regular checks and avoid putting it in hot water or sun exposure as it will lead to burns and blisters.

- Don't sleep with a pillow below your knee as this might lead to a contracture.

- As a new amputee, use shrinker as prescribed. Try to take bath at night as your leg might swell with hot water, making it difficult to put on your prosthetic.

- Don't hang your leg down for longer hours, it might lead to swelling as well.

- Do stretching exercises regularly.

We've stumbled upon a constant question - "Are there any precautions that I need to keep in mind while using a prosthetic device in summers?"

A few things to notice are -

- Residual limb fluctuation : Your stump size might change due to excess heat.
- Staying in an air-conditioned room or taking a cold shower before using the Prosthetic limb can help to a greater extent.
- Excess perspiration : To prevent the growth of bacterias and ill-fittings, thoroughly drying out the stump/prosthetic/liners and washing the stump regularly can be of great help.

Let's take a stroll through the different parts of a prosthetic, shall we? 📑

A functioning prosthetic can have a varied number of designs and usage, when it comes to lower limb prosthetics there is a similarity in the basic structure of a prosthetic. The common parts are -

1. Socket - The initial contact between the prosthetic and stump, often lined with a liner (foam / silicone / cotton liner)
2. The Pylon - internal frame or skeleton of the prosthetic limb
3. The Foot - can be of different types depending upon movement / flexibility
4. A covering for cosmetic appearance
Different types of socks - to improve comfort within the socket
