Looking after your prosthesis

Aftercare

Once your prosthesis is completed and fitted we will instruct you how to care for, and clean. At the same time you will be given a leaflet containing all of this aftercare information. Listed below are the aftercare leaflets currently available for download. If the leaflet you require is not in the list please contact us and we will be happy to email you a copy.


What is a prosthesis?


A prosthesis is an artificial substitute for a missing part of your body.

Medical prostheses artificially restore patients who have facial or body defects due to malignancy, congenital deformity, or trauma. They offer hope to patients who cannot be surgically reconstructed and are used as a temporary measure for patients who are awaiting surgical reconstruction.

In order for the prosthesis to appear life like, every texture, form and pigmentation must be carefully matched. This requires several clinic visits as well as extensive laboratory work.

CM Prosthetics provide specialist prosthetic services to both the National Health Service and the independent sector.




What care will my prosthesis need?


The type of care needed will depend on the materials used and the type of prosthetic.

Once we have fitted your new prosthesis we will supply you with all the information you need to care for it. We will also arrange for a follow-up appointment, to ensure that there are no problems with your prosthesis and that you are completely happy.
