chemicals, it should be returned to the healthcare professional.

DEVICE SELECTION
For a transtibial liner, the correct size is determined by bending the knee
slightly, allowing the soft tissue to hang down.
To determine the correct size:
• Measure the circumference of the residual limb 4 cm from the distal
end (Fig. 1)
• Choose the corresponding device size. If the measurement taken does
not have a corresponding device size, round the measurement down.
Note: Do not choose a device size which exceeds the measurement,
i.e., do not round up.
Caution: A too small/tight device may result in pistoning, numbness, or
blistering.
Caution: A too large/loose device may result in increased perspiration
and movement of the limb inside the device, which may lead to blisters
and rashes.
If any of the above symptoms, or any other indications of improper fit are
experienced, the patient should contact the healthcare professional
immediately.
Note: For a transtibial locking liner, make sure that the liner matrix covers
at least 4 cm of bony structure. Do not allow the matrix to extend higher
than the fibula head.
