Amputee Clothing

We are able to adapt most of our clothing items to suit the needs of the individual who has had an amputated limb. If the person has had an amputation of the arm or leg, we will cut the garment to fit the length of the existing stump or if a prosthetic is being used, we will insert "break away" snaps, zippers or hook and loop closures along the seams to permit access to the stump for care. Let us know what your preferences are to make dressing and personal care easier.
Tip: Here's a tip to foster independence in dressing for the person with balance problems due to lower limb amputation. Have the individual gather all items to be worn and then have her/him place the clothing on the bed within easy reach. Next, have her/him sit on the bed while putting on each item. There will be minimal times needed for standing to pull on the pieces of clothing and decrease the chance of a fall.

Select from our Women's Amputee Clothing or Men's Amputee Clothing categories.

Women's Amputee Clothing

Choose from our amputee clothes for women based upon the person's ability to dress herself. The person dresses independently (self dresser) or needs help to dress (assisted dressing).

Women's Amputee Clothes - Dresses Independently/Self Dresser
	If your lady loves dresses, but doesn't like to struggle with the extra material in a long sleeve, let us know and we will modify the sleeve length to satisfy her needs. This can be done for any of our dresses and blouses. Just ask our Customer Service Representatives.
	If she has a leg amputation and needs access to the stump while wearing slacks, or sweatsuits we can insert a zipper from the ankle to the level of the stump making care of the stump a bit easier, or we can insert break away snaps along the entire length of the side seam. Let us know her preference.
Women's Amputee Clothes - Needs help to Dress/Assisted Dressing
	If the woman cannot dress herself and she loves to wear dusters, Muu Muus, and dresses, choose from our wide selection of open back garments to keep her looking great as well as to provide assistance to the caregiver.
	Our side-zip slacks are very helpful to the caregiver who needs to assist the woman with a lower limb amputation in the daily activity of dressing. Bilateral, 22 inch zippers make both dressing and personal care much easier. Side zip pants are also available in our knit pants sets, velour and boucle sets as well as in our sweatsuits.
