SMARTTEMP LINERS
The Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in the SmartTemp Liner work by storing body heat and preventing a rise in temperature until
they can no longer store any more body heat . Once they have stored all the body heat they can, they become saturated, and the
temperature in the liner will begin to behave like any other prosthetic liner . Please instruct your patient that, in order to receive the
benefits of the PCMs in the liner again, this stored body heat needs to be discharged from the liner as follows:
• Remove the liner from the limb .
• Place the liner in a cold or air-conditioned environment for a few hours . Simply running the liner under cold water for a brief
time will not completely discharge the stored heat energy . Submerging the liner in a cold basin of water for an extended period
of time would be more appropriate .
Note: the conditions required to discharge the stored body heat will vary depending on how much energy has been stored in the
PCMs and the environment used to discharge the PCMs.
Rinse all the soap from the
liner with water .
Note: Do not scrub the Alpha Liner.
Scrubbing can roughen the surface of the
liner, which can then irritate the skin.
