should always be donned by unrolling the doughnut onto the residual
limb. Exposing as much of the distal end of the liner as possible, position
it against the residual limb and with light compression unroll the Iceross
upward onto the limb. Check that no air pockets are present.
note: Be very careful that the inside of the liner is clean, dry and free
from any foreign objects that can cause skin irritation.
Roll the liner all the way up the limb, taking care not to damage it with
your fingernails. Do not tug or pull.
Myo-electric prostheses
Iceross Upper-X can successfully be used with myoelectric prostheses.
Where the length of the residual limb allows, the Iceross can be cut
below the level of the electrodes. If a longer liner is required, it is possible
to use a sharp hole punch of the appropriate size to cut holes in the liner
to facilitate direct skin contact for the electrodes. If holes are made, the
cover on the edges should be smeared with silicone adhesive to avoid
delamination.
CARE
Liner Care (Figure 7)
Proper product care is important. Following use, the liner needs to be
washed inside and out every day. 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 -60°C) 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.
An Iceross liner can be used directly after washing. It does not need to
dry overnight. Always return the liner to its normal position with the
distal attachment facing out as soon as possible after cleaning.
note: Care must be taken by both the prosthetist and the patient not to
expose a liner to glass or carbon fibres or other foreign particles. Such
substances can become embedded in the silicone, causing aggravation
to the skin. Washing alone may not be sufficient to eliminate the problem
and the patient should be instructed to return the liner to the prosthetist
if the liner is inadvertently exposed to any foreign substances or
chemicals.
DermoSil™ and DermoGel™ silicone contain Aloe Vera and Vaseline.
They act as a natural moisturizers and Aloe Vera is known for its soothing
effects on the skin. Initially, the inner surface of the liner should be
slightly moist to the touch. For these reasons, the liner should not be left
inside out for an extended period or exposed to excessive heat or
sunlight.
Skin Care
Daily cleaning of the residual limb is also essential. We recommend use
of a mild liquid, pH balanced, 100% fragranceand dye-free soap.
If dry skin is noted, apply a pH balanced, 100% fragrance- and dye-free
lotion to nourish and soften the skin. Do NOT apply lotion to the
residual limb immediately prior to donning the liner.
