to ensure better fit and to minimize trapped air. Iceross Pads may also be
used to distribute body pressure and to protect the skin. In some cases,
custom-formed pads may be required for irregular shapes or problem
areas. See Össur Prosthetic Product Catalogue for more information.
LINER CARE
Proper product care is important. The liner needs to be washed inside
and out every day, following use. Your patient should be instructed to
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°C/Hot) 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 over night. Always return the liner to its normal position with the seal
facing out as soon as possible after cleaning. Ensure the seal is
positioned correctly on the liner following washing. The seal must be
clean and free from dirt prior to use.
Note: Misuse may result in potential loss of suspension. Iceross liners
should always be checked for damage or wear. Any damage may weaken
the effectiveness of the liner and should be reported to the user's
prosthetist immediately.
Care must be taken by both the prosthetist and the patient not to expose
a liner to glass or carbon fibers or other foreign particles. Such
substances can become embedded in the silicone causing aggravation of
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 extract. This acts as a
natural moisturizer and is known for its active healing and soothing
effects on skin. Initially, the inner surface of the liner should be moist to
the touch. For these reasons, the liner should not be left inside out for
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.
Note: Many common household or bath products, including soaps,
deodorants, perfumes, aerosol or alcohol sprays or abrasive cleaners may
cause or contribute to skin irritation and the patient should be so
advised.
