Donning The Device - Blatchford Silcare Breathe SBTTLP22L Instructions D'utilisation

10 Trimming the Liner
Before you begin
We recommend using a rotating disc cutter to achieve a bevelled edge.
Leave enough material on the liner so that its proximal edge can cover the edge of the socket.
Avoid trimming through the perforations.
• Trim the proximal edge of the liner to suit the shape of the user's socket.
If necessary, trim the proximal edge of the liner in a wave pattern to reduce shear stress.

11 Donning the Device

Do not pull or stretch the fabric.
Fingernails, sharp jewelry, and the locking pin can
tear the device. Stop using the device if it is torn or
damaged.
Unwanted material can stick to silicone and irritate
skin.
The fabric can collect static electricity.
Before you begin
Fit the valve. (See section 8.)
1. Invert the liner so that its silicone side points externally.
2. Put the distal cap on the distal end of the residual limb.
3. Align the locking pin with the long axis of the residual limb.
4. Roll the liner on the residual limb while releasing any trapped air.
Note: The unperforated fabric should be below the patella tendon.
After donning the device, allow the user to wear it for 10 minutes. If the user feels numbness
within 10 minutes, do the following:
1. Doff the device, and wait until normal sensation returns.
2. Don the device again.
3. If the user feels numbness again, stop using the device.
