What must i do if i have a wound where they attach my prosthesis?

Residual limb wounds: You must first heal the wound and then allow the skin to mature a little before utilizing the prosthesis. You should seek help from your clinician or from a wound center.

Get it checked out.: A stump wound should not be left alone. Get in to see a wound specialist or wound care center. You may have to forego your prosthesis while this is healing depending on where the wound is located.
