Donning an Iceross Liner
• When donning the liner, turn the liner inside out and grip it as shown
in the illustration (Figure 3).
Note: Be very careful that the inside of the liner is clean, dry and free
from any foreign objects that can cause skin irritation.
• After exposing as much of the distal end of the liner as possible,
position it against the residual limb and with light compression roll
upward onto the limb. Check that no air pockets are present (Figure 4).
• Roll the liner all the way up the limb, taking care not to damage it with
fingernails. Do not tug or pull (Figure 5).
• Ensure the Silicone Membrane is not inverted and sits correctly
around its full circumference (Figure 6).
Note: Inverting the Iceross Seal-In Liner and returning it to its original
position will soften the silicone and assist with donning of the liner when
new.
Iceross Distal Cup
Iceross Distal Cups provide enhanced comfort for conical limbs with
poor soft tissue coverage. They can also be used as a fitting tool in
conjunction with the Iceross Original liners to ensure total contact
between the silicone and residual limb. The DERMOGEL silicone in the
Iceross Distal Cup conforms to the limb, thus minimizing pressure over
bony prominence during gait.
To correctly fit a Distal Cup:
1. Measure the circumference of the residual limb at 4cm from the distal
end (Figur 1).
2. Choose the Distal Cup two or three sizes smaller than the
measurement.
3. Roll the Distal Cup directly over the limb (Figure 6).
4. When using an Iceross liner in combination with a Distal Cup, the
liner measurement (4cm from the distal end) should be made with the
Distal Cup in place (i.e. OVER the Distal Cup) (Figure 7).
5. Choose the correct Iceross liner size based on the measurement
obtained with the Distal Cup in place
Iceross Pads (Figure 8)
Iceross Pads can be used to fill in any problem areas (i.e. voids or scars)
to ensure better fit and to minimize trapped air. Iceross Pads may also be
used to distribute body pressure and to protect the skin. In some cases,
custom-formed pads may be required for irregular shapes or problem
areas.
Liner Care (Figure 9)
Proper product care is important. The liner needs to be washed inside
and out every day, following use. Your patient should be instructed to
remove the liner, turn the liner inside out and wash it with pH balanced,
100% fragrance- and dye-free soap. The liner can also be machine washed
(40°C/Hot) with a mild detergent. Fabric softeners or bleaches or other
products or cleaning solutions may damage the liner and should NOT be
used. After cleaning, the patient should rinse the liner thoroughly with
water and wipe both sides dry with a lint-free cloth.
