The prosthetic sheath is an friction reducting interface between the
skin and the prosthetic sock. Prosthetic Sheath Socks should be
changed and laundered daily.
Like the socket and the prosthetic socks, the sheath should be lathered
with a sanitizing lotion or mild detergent, using warm water. After a
generous rinsing in warm, clear water, it should be squeezed, but not
wrung out, and left to dry completely. Most sheaths are manufactured from
artificial fibers, indicating delicate handling. The material air dries quickly
and should be ready to wear the following day.
