Nursing work of wearing prostheses
01 Do a good job of cleaning the residual limbs before going to bed
It is recommended to wash with warm soapy water and light salt water to keep the skin of the residual limbs fresh and clean, and pay attention to dryness.
02 Check the skin condition of the residual limb before going to bed
If there are signs of wear, blisters, redness and blackness, please pay more attention. If you are seriously ill, you should seek medical treatment immediately. Do not underestimate these skin problems. Many cases of secondary amputation are caused by the gradual deterioration of these minor problems.
03 Keep the inner surface of the receiving cavity clean
If the inner surface of the receiving cavity is not clean, it will increase the risk of skin infection of the residual limb. Therefore, patients with prosthetics should wipe the inner surface of the receiving cavity before going to bed every night, wipe it with a hand towel soaked in soapy water, and then dry it naturally.
04 Scattered parts are often cleaned
The sleeves and pads in the receiving cavity are often soaked by sweat, which will produce odor after being attached to the dirt, so they should be washed with soapy water and dried with a hand towel, and the residual limb socks should be cleaned and replaced frequently.
05 Drink less water at night and wear bandages
For prosthetic patients with frequent swelling, it is recommended to drink less water at night, wrap the residual limb with elastic bandages when sleeping, and sleep under reasonable pressure to avoid discomfort in wearing the prosthesis due to the swelling of the residual limb the next day.
06 Conditionally can wear silicone sleeve
Basically wearing a silicone sleeve for about 2-3 months, the sweat glands in the residual limbs will degenerate, which can solve the problem of sweating discomfort. However, it is not recommended to wear it in the summer for the first-installed patients. At this time, there may be intensive red rashes and itching. It is recommended that the first-installed patients choose to wear it when the weather is cold, adapt in advance, and degenerate the sweat glands in advance.
07 Carry residual limb socks with you
Because the residual limbs are different in different time periods, it is recommended that everyone carry the residual limb socks with you. When you feel the receptive cavity is loose, you can use the method of adding residual limb socks.
08 Take off the prosthesis moderately and keep wet wipes
When it is convenient to go to work, you can remove the prosthesis a little more to ventilate and breathe. At the same time, prepare some wet wipes. When the residual limb is sweaty and uncomfortable, wipe and clean it, which can have a good cooling and cleaning effect.
09 How to solve itching and redness
If the residual limbs have symptoms such as itching and redness, take vitamin C orally first and use calamine lotion for cleaning. If the symptoms are not alleviated for a long time, it is recommended to go to the dermatologist of the hospital.
10 Don't indulge in summer delicacies
Summer is also the season of food. Crayfish, barbecues, and skewers can be found everywhere in the food stalls. However, as a prosthetic patient, it is recommended that everyone usually eat lightly, eat less greasy and spicy foods, try not to drink tobacco and alcohol, and pair with appropriate exercise.
