Overview

Stump Shrinkers for Residual Limbs

Steady volume control for your residual limb

After an amputation the residual limb swells and keeps changing shape for months as it heals. A stump shrinker manages that. Worn snugly over the limb, it applies gentle graduated compression that controls oedema, reduces swelling, and helps the limb settle into a stable, tapered shape. That matters for comfort, for healing, and for prosthetic fit, because a swollen or uneven limb makes a good socket fit difficult to achieve.

Our range uses the durable Juzo Dynamic knit in above knee and below knee forms, including an above knee version with a hip attachment for a secure hold. The soft, breathable fabric is made for the near constant day and night wear this stage of recovery needs, and stays comfortable in the UAE climate. Consistent daily wear is what keeps the limb shaped and ready for your prosthesis.

Which shrinker do I need?

  • Below knee: shapes and controls swelling in the residual limb below the knee.
  • Above knee: covers the residual limb above the knee for firm, even shaping.
  • Above knee with hip attachment: adds a waist level hold to keep the shrinker securely in place.
  • Custom made: when standard sizes do not fit or the limb has an unusual shape.

These shrinkers are available in standard sizes and as custom made garments knitted to your own measurements in Germany. A custom made shrinker is the answer when a residual limb falls outside the standard size range or has an unusual shape, so the compression stays even and effective along the whole limb.

Fit and compression level matter here, so our certified fitters help you choose and measure, with fittings in Dubai and home visits across the UAE. They can also confirm whether a standard or custom made shrinker suits you best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stump shrinker used for?
A stump shrinker is a compression garment worn over a residual limb after amputation. It controls swelling, manages oedema, and helps the limb settle into a stable, tapered shape. This makes the limb more comfortable, supports healing, and prepares it for a prosthesis, which is difficult to fit well on a limb that is still swollen or changing shape.
Should I choose an above knee or below knee stump shrinker?
Choose the shrinker that matches your level of amputation. A below knee shrinker shapes the residual limb below the knee, while an above knee version covers the limb above the knee. If keeping the garment securely in place is difficult, an above knee shrinker with a hip attachment adds a waist level hold. A fitting confirms the right choice.
How do I choose the right size and compression level?
Sizing depends on your level of amputation, your residual limb measurements, and the compression level your clinical team recommends. Because the limb changes during recovery, you may need a smaller size later on. A fitting is the reliable way to get it right, and our certified fitters measure and advise in Dubai or at home across the UAE.
How many hours a day should I wear a stump shrinker?
In the early shaping phase it is usually worn almost continuously, day and night, taking it off only for washing and skin care. As the limb stabilises, wear may gradually reduce. Consistent wear is what keeps swelling down and the shape even, so follow the schedule your surgeon or therapist sets for your stage of recovery.
How do I wash and care for a stump shrinker?
Wash it gently by hand or on a delicate cycle at up to 40 degrees, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying, ironing and bleach, as heat and harsh chemicals damage the elastic fibres and reduce compression. Rotating two shrinkers lets one dry while you wear the other and helps them last longer.
