When will I get a replacement?

As your residual limb changes over time, your prosthetist can
modify your socket to improve comfort, and you may be able to use
prosthetic socks to manage socket fit. Your doctor and prosthetist
will decide when to replace your prosthesis based on socket fit and
comfort, normal wear and tear and limb changes.

If you gain or lose weight, the comfort and performance of your
prosthesis may be affected and you may need a new socket. It is
important to maintain a consistently healthy weight.

REPLACING SUPPLIES
While your prosthesis may last
for years, you will need
replacement supplies such as
liners, sleeves or socks more
often. Tell your prosthetist if you
see any holes, tears or problems
with your supplies.
