Can I wear my prosthetic leg in the shower?

Answer by  amber33 (1941)

I don't know much about prosthetic legs but unless it has some kind of mechanical or batteries in it I would say it should be fine.

That depends. Is it one of the plastic and metal ones or does it have electronics embedded into it to help function. If it has electronics then I wouldn't recommend it, if not it should be okay.

You should not wear it into the shower. This is because water getting to the various components of the prosthetic can become rusted and cause permanent damage. There are, however, covers that you can purchase to place over your prosthetic while showering.
