DONNING TECHNIQUE
Before donning a new liner clean it with lukewarm water, and dry it with
lint free cloth as the natural oils in the silicone make it difficult to grip.
1. Turn the liner inside out by gripping the distal end from the inside as
shown in the illustration. (Figure B)
2. Grip the top of the liner and slide it over the hand until the inner sur-
face is fully exposed. (Figure C)
3. Spray the Clean & Simple Lubricant Spray into the inverted liner for
easier roll on. (Figure D)
4. 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 E)
5. Roll the liner all the way up the limb, taking care not to damage it
with fingernails. Do not tug or pull.
6. Ensure the Seals sit horizontally around their full circumference.
NOTE: Be very careful that the inside of the liner is clean, dry and free
from any foreign objects that can cause skin irritation.
NOTE: With use the silicone will soften, which will facilitate application.
Ensure no air pockets are trapped during rolling as this could lead to
skin complaints or excessive perspiration.
