5.1 Size selection
INFORMATION
Be sure to select the correct liner size. Possible problems are listed below.
► Liner too small: Feelings of numbness, formation of blisters, pistoning
in the prosthetic socket
► Liner too large: Increased perspiration, rotation of the residual limb in
the liner, formation of blisters, skin rash
1) Measure the residual limb circumference 4 cm proximal of the residual
limb end.
2) CAUTION! Reduce by a maximum of 1 liner size to avoid excessive
compression.
Select the liner size that corresponds to the resulting measurement.
Alternatively the next smaller size can be chosen.
3) Check the fit of the liner.
5.2 Adapting the liner
INFORMATION
Liners with a threaded connection have an integrated matrix. The matrix
prevents excessive expansion of the material. The length of the matrix is
based on the liner's domain of application. Liners with a matrix in the distal
are particularly well suited for TT prostheses. Liners with a matrix over the
entire length are usually used for TF prostheses.
INFORMATION
Copolymer liners are thermoformable. For this purpose, pull the liner over
a dry plaster positive and optionally wrap it in an elastic bandage.
