Incorporating a Launch donning sleeve into your daily routine makes the physically straining morning task of putting on your prosthesis much easier and with little mess. Amputee Essentials manufactured this donning sheath using only one seam and nylon that employs a special reinforcing technique to make it more resistant to tearing and ripping. Apply your above knee prosthetic leg in three simple steps. Step one; place your residual limb into the Launch nylon bag and step two; into your prosthetic socket. Step three; pull the Launch Donning Sheath through the valve hole and that’s all. The low shear resistance that nylon offers helps avoid skin abrasion and burning sensation along your residual limb. For those AK amputees that prefer the “oneness” of suction suspension and have experienced a traumatic above knee amputation resulting in scarred or hypersensitive skin may find Launch a great donning option. Materials Ripstop Nylon Directions for Use Launch Donning Sheath application Instructions: To apply the Launch donning aid, first fully spread out the aid. Fold the top half (A) of Launch into the other half (B). Make sure the seam is flush with each other; loop is on the outside. With both hands, pull Launch over your transfemoral residual limb like a sock and avoid creases. Position the socket over your residual limb after which the loop of your Launch can be put through the socket’s valve hole. Finally, slowly pull your Launch out of the prosthetic socket by pulling the loop through the valve hole. If you realize your residual limb is not positioned inside your socket properly, this procedure has to be repeated.
