What is the silicone sleeve ?
As the name suggests, the main material of the silicone sleeve is made of silica gel to protect the stump of the inner sleeve.
It goes on the stump, and it is like the introduce below.
After decades of development, the appearance of silicone sleeve is a milestone in the development of prosthesis. At present, in countries with developed prosthesis industry, it has basically reached the degree of complete popularization.
But many amputee friends in China for silicone sleeve is still strange, for whether to use it is still full of entanglements.
Today DISAN is here to talk about silicone sleeve .
What are the characteristics of the silicone sleeve?
1. Eliminate concentrated pressure points and fully contact the receiving cavity
Have any of the non-full-contact partners ever experienced a very painful end stump?
In order to have a more comfortable feeling at the end of the stump, according to the characteristics of silica gel, the bottom will generally have a thick silica gel pad, and if worn correctly, the silica gel cover can be fully attached to the surface of the stump.
2. It has shaping function
The shape and size of the stump at the beginning of the amputation is very unstable, especially for the friends in the space of the prosthesis. It is very important for the new amputation and the stump end of the patients who are relatively swollen. The silicone sleeve can not only play a very good shaping effect, but also help the stump to reduce the swelling.
3. Auxiliary suspension
Those of you who have used conventional prosthetics will know that they can be swung and flown off. The reason for this is that they are so loose that amputees feel so insecure when walking.
If so, the silicone sleeve must be understood!
Silicone sleeves are usually used with sealing rings or locks, both of which, when properly and correctly assembled, allow the prosthesis to be connected to the stump very firmly, thus reducing friction between the prosthesis and the leg.
4. Easy to wear and take off
Whether children, the elderly or adults can achieve independence and easy to wear and take off after mastering certain skills, so it is very convenient to wear and take off the silicone sleeve.
5. Safe and non-toxic
Silicone is a very safe material, and is found in large amounts in some artificial implants as well as baby pacifiers, proving its safety.
Who is suitable to use silicone sleeve?
Many believe silicone cases are more suitable for people with skin grafts, sensitive skin, short limbs, burns, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
But we need to understand that the silicone sleeve is not only the protection after amputation, but also plays a more important role in prevention, so as to give better protection to the stump.
Here also want to tell the amputee partners in particular, the protection of the stump should be all the time, in the stump situation after the response has caused damage.
Because the silicone sleeve can improve the comfort of the prostheses, so that we can more freely use the prostheses, and the amputation of the friend's action is not restricted, so the silicone sleeve is suitable for the vast majority of amputation friends.
Whether the skin is sensitive or not, leg or thigh amputation, short stump or long stump friend, silicone sleeve is very useful.
