Prosthetic Care : A Guide to Long-lasting Mobility!

When it comes to your prosthetic or artificial leg, proper care isn’t just a suggestion. It’s a necessity for optimal performance and durability. 

Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you maintain your Instalimb prosthetic leg in its prime condition:

1. Daily Cleaning: Make it a routine to clean your artificial leg every day using mild soap and water. A gentle wipe-down of all surfaces removes sweat and dirt. Moreover, ensuring your prosthetic remains a happy and hygienic companion.

2. Regular Inspections: Keep an eye on your prosthetic for any signs of wear or damage. Do a daily/alternate day check to make sure it is working properly.

3. Sock Management: Achieving a proper fit is crucial for comfort. Utilize the right number of socks to avoid folding, which could lead to discomfort or uneven pressure on your stump.

4. Socket Comfort: Your socket should fit snugly yet comfortably. Also, consult a good prosthetist for necessary adjustments!

5. Moisture Management: While Instalimb socket is water-resistant, it’s wise to limit prolonged exposure to water. After cleaning, ensure your artificial leg is thoroughly dried to avoid any moisture buildup.

6. Storage Importance: When not in use, store your prosthetic in a cool, dry place. Shield it from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

7. Activity Awareness: While designed for an active lifestyle, be mindful of your prosthetic’s limits. In particular, avoid high-impact activities that could strain or damage its components.

To sum up, with these diligent care and maintenance practices, your Instalimb aritificial leg will continue to serve you with reliability, comfort, as well as steadfast support on your boundless journey towards mobility.
