ICEROSS ® TRANSTIBIAL LINERS BY ÖSSUR
Careful selection of the Iceross liner is required to produce maximum benefit to the user. When selecting the appropriate transtibial Iceross
liner the following must be considered:
1. Size of the residual limb
2. Activity/Impact level of the user
3. Use of fitting aids
4. Profile
5. Fitting Aid
ÖSSUR LINERS
AND SOCKETS
1. SIZE
With the tissue of the residual limb hanging down, measure 4cm proximal to the distal end of the limb
and mark this point on the skin. Measure the circumference of the limb at this point with medium
tension on the tape measure.
Iceross size 25cm
User measurement 26cm
The measurement taken corresponds to the size of Iceross to be used. Select the liner size matching your measurement or, if between sizes,
select the next size below. Do not select a size larger than your measurement or more than one size below the measurement. E.g. if the
circumference of the limb measures 26cm, select Iceross size 25.
NOTE - ICEROSS LOCKING LINERS:
The incorporated size-specific umbrella works in conjunction with the matrix. Optimal function of both the umbrella and matrix is dependent
on correct size selection of the Iceross liner. Incorrect sizing may cause discomfort to the user, perspiration and reduced control of the
prosthesis.
NOTE - ICEROSS SEAL-IN LINERS:
For Iceross Seal-In liners, it is essential that the Hypobaric Sealing Membrane (HSM) sits correctly against the liner around its full
circumference. Once you have selected the liner according to our instructions, assess the membrane according to the pictures below, visually
and manually. Picture 3 is the optimal situation. In some cases, the next size down may need to be selected to achieve this fitting (this is unique
to Iceross Seal-In liners and should not be applied to other Iceross models, including the Iceross Seal-In X5 and Seal-In V liners).
1. LINER IS TOO SMALL 2. LINER IS TOO BIG
3. LINER FITS CORRECTLY
The sizing recommendations are intended as a guide. There may be occasions when alternative sizes need to be selected.
