What’s next?

       Please remember:

                 Schedule regular check-ups with your prosthetist to
                 check your prosthesis for wear, damage and fit. These
                 appointments are also good ways to learn about new
                 prosthetic technologies that may benefit you.


                 Never adjust your own prosthesis. If you ever have any
                 problems, call your prosthetist.




                 Take care of your prosthesis by keeping your inner
                 socket, liners and socks clean.



                 Inspect your skin daily.




       If you have any questions at all, please talk to your prosthetist. At
       Hanger Clinic, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals
       and regain an active lifestyle!
