POST SURGICALDRESSINGS-
•Rigid dressing,
• Semi rigid dressing(unna’s dressing) ,
•Soft dressing-
❖ ELASTIC WRAPS-4 INCH WIDE OR MORE, OVER GAUGE AND DRESSING THE ELASTIC
WRAPS ARE USED TO MAINTAIN COMPRESSION
❖ ELASTIC SHRINKERS

USE OF PROSTHESIS
Itis an artificial part and replacement of the
lost part of the body
It is the substitution to a part of the body to
achieve its optimum function
Eg; •Syme’s Amputation: Elephant boot ,Canadian Syme’s prosthesis, B-K Amputation: Patellar
tendon bearing (PTB) prosthesis Solid ankle cushion heel(SACH), Above Knee Amputation: Suction
type & Non suction type prosthesis,Hind quarter Amputation: Tilting table prosthesis(TTP) Canadian
prosthesis
