There are a few different ways of donning a prosthetic sleeve but to encourage a long life of the sleeve they should be rolled up before applying to prosthesis and then unrolled into place. As this product is meant to be snug and has a non-slip interior, this method will prevent ripping of the product generally caused by the incorrect application of pulling on. Product is taken off in similar manner, by rolling off.  Speak your prosthetist for specific tips on appying your prosthesis and sleeve.

Sometimes this can happen when the sleeve has been left in a rolled up position overnight or for an extended period of time. This will cause the neoprene to loose its memory and eventually it will loose its effectiveness. We suggest that all products should be unrolled when not in use.
