Cleaning the Prosthesis With the prosthesis removed, wash with a mild soap such as Ivory Liquid Hand Soap or Ocusoft Soap. Pick up the prosthesis carefully as it will be slippery. If you are cleaning your prosthesis in the bathroom we recommend that you place a cloth in the bottom of the sink and close the lid to the toilet. Using a wet soapy cotton washcloth rub the prosthesis vigorously. Use as hot of water as your hands can tolerate. Rinse all soap from the prosthesis and hands before re-inserting the prosthesis.. Be sure to place a few drops of either artificial tears or moisture drops on the entire surface of the prosthesis before re--inserting Back to Helpful Information
