DONNING
• Orient the black brim guard (found on the inside of the sleeve) toward the front of the socket.
• Center the black brim guard on the anterior proximal socket trim line.
• The exposed gel area above and below the partial fabric cover should contact the skin (or liner) and socket, respectively.
When using the Alpha Hybrid Sleeve in vacuum applications, tape the distal end of the seal to the socket to ensure a sufficient
seal. For the best seal proximally, ensure that the gel of the sleeve seals to the exposed gel of the Alpha Liner.

CLEANING
For the best possible seal for vacuum systems, we recommend keeping the surface of the gel clean and clear of debris. After cleaning,
hang the sleeve up to dry.
WEEKLY DISINFECTION
If the sleeve is worn so that the gel portion of the sleeve touches the skin, then the area of the gel that touches the skin should be
disinfected once a week.
1. Place a small amount of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol on a soft, clean cloth.
2. Lightly wipe the gel side of the sleeve with the cloth.
3. Rinse the alcohol from the sleeve with water.
4. Hang the sleeve up to dry.
Note: Do not soak the sleeve in the ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Extended contact with large amounts of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol will
stiffen the sleeve.
STORAGE
When the prosthesis is not being worn for a few days, the distal portion of the sleeve may be
left on the socket.
Do NOT leave the sleeve on the socket with the top half of the sleeve reflected back onto the
socket, or the sleeve will stretch out.
If the prosthesis is not to be worn for five days or more, the sleeve should be removed, cleaned, and
stored in a clean, dry place.
