The Knit-Rite Shrinker Donning Tube is a must have if you are a new amputee with a sensitive residual limb. The Shrinker Donning Tube is equivalent to four gentle hands attempting to apply your prosthetic shrinker without your pain hitting a “Level 10”. Simply load your shrinker onto the acrylic Donning tube and then move the tube along your limb by yourself at your own pace.
MaterialsAcrylic plastic
Shrinker Tubes are ideal for new amputees. Simply stretch your shrinker over the open end, completely reflect your prosthetic shrinker over the top of your donning tube. Slowly "step into" or pull the cylinder towards your body until the shrinker is fully applied. Don't hesitate to use both a fitting lotion and this shrinker tube.
Great question and best answered by your prosthetist. Many people will use a prosthetic belt designed for bilateral above knee amputees:
