What should I do with the old prosthesis?

All of your child’s prostheses are yours to keep! We recommend you keep your child’s old prosthesis at least until they have broken into their new prosthesis.  

There are many organizations that will take donations of gently used parts. Used parts cannot legally be used in the United States but are often utilized during prosthetic mission trips to third world countries. If you feel inclined to donate your child’s prosthesis, talk to your prosthetist and see the resources below:
