Caring for your cover

A prosthetic cover does much more than improve the appearance of a prosthesis. It also helps protect the internal prosthetic components from everyday wear and tear while creating a more natural and confident look.

At Adddition, our prosthetic knee covers are designed for everyday life. They are lightweight, durable, and built to withstand daily use. However, like any high-performance product, proper care and maintenance will help keep your cover looking and performing at its best for longer.

1. Clean Your Cover Regularly

Over time, dust, dirt, and environmental debris can accumulate on the surface of your prosthetic cover and affect its appearance.

To keep your cover in excellent condition, wipe it regularly with a soft cloth or a baby wipe. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning products, as these may damage the surface finish and reduce the aesthetic quality of the cover.

2. Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure

Adddition prosthetic knee covers are water-resistant, but they are not waterproof.

Everyday moisture, rain, and occasional splashes are perfectly acceptable. However, we do not recommend swimming or submerging the cover for extended periods of time. The internal magnetic components may be affected by long-term water exposure, potentially leading to corrosion.

If your cover becomes wet, simply dry it thoroughly and continue using it as normal.

3. Protect It from Rough and Abrasive Surfaces

Frequent contact with abrasive materials such as concrete, brick, rough flooring, or sharp edges can cause scratches, scuffs, and premature wear.

For users who regularly kneel or work in demanding environments, we recommend using the protective knee pads included with every Adddition cover order. These accessories provide an additional layer of protection and help preserve the appearance of the cover.

4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Like many advanced materials, prosthetic covers perform best within normal temperature ranges.

Extended exposure to excessive heat may gradually affect material performance, while extremely cold conditions can temporarily reduce flexibility. Whenever possible, store and use your prosthesis in moderate environmental conditions.

5. Rely on Everyday Durability

Adddition prosthetic knee covers are engineered to deliver reliable performance and durability throughout everyday activities. They are designed to withstand regular use, minor impacts, and the demands of an active lifestyle.

However, while they are highly durable, they are not indestructible. Proper handling and regular maintenance will help maximize their lifespan and maintain their premium appearance.

Protect Your Cover, Protect Your Prosthesis

A few simple maintenance habits can significantly extend the life of your prosthetic cover. By following these recommendations, your Adddition cover will continue to provide protection, comfort, and confidence for years to come.
