#prosthetictips Sweat tends to accumulate inside prosthetics for amputees. When you are playing sports or active dampness makes liners a haven for bacteria. This can lead to skin inflammation or infections. - Wash your liners every day as instructed by the manufacturer.... - Avoid using alcohol wipes on your liner unless your prosthetist instructs you otherwise. - Always carry extra liners and socks, especially when exercising, so that you can change out of sweaty materials when needed. - Do not attempt to adjust your prosthetic or liner on your own. Instead, consult with your prosthetist. See more
