appropriate for your residual limb
1. Push the lining into the sleeve as far as the markings.Turn half
the length of the Easy-Proth® into the other half
up to the lower seam (loop on the outside).
2. Hold with both hands, and draw over the residual limb like a
sock. DO NOT use the marking tabs for this purpose
3. Don the prosthesis making sure the Easy-Proth loop reaches
the valve opening.
4. Pull the loop through the valve opening and the Easy Proth
should smoothly follow.
Easy Proth Care Instructions:
| Hand Wash using a mild detergent at low temperature (80F) | |
| Do not iron, dry clean of bleach | |
| Air dry indoors |
The Easy Proth addresses donning problems including proximal
upward directed pressure on soft tissue, "hammock-ing" due to
increased upward tension from sock plies, and socket rotation.
Pull Style Donning Aids have been found to be especially
beneficial for difficult-to-fit amputee limbs, such as those with
excess soft tissue or edema, bulbous ends, or other uniquely
shaped limbs, and to aid in donning removable rigid dressings.
