Prosthesis
Cleaning with a damp cloth will generally be sufficient. Ottobock recommends Derma Clean to
disinfect the prosthesis. Clean any plastic surfaces with water and skin-friendly soap. Dry the
cleaned areas thoroughly. Do not place the prosthesis on a radiator or other heat source. Ensure
that no soap residue is left on the prosthesis, since this could cause skin irritation on the residual
limb.
Residual Limb Sock
Change the residual limb sock on a daily basis and wash it according to the instructions.
Please consult your doctor if you have any questions on skin diseases or disinfection methods.
