ICEROSS ® TRANSFEMORAL LINERS BY ÖSSUR
ÖSSUR LINERS
AND SOCKETS
The transfemoral residual limb offers slightly different challenges to the prosthetist than the transtibial residual limb in terms of achieving
optimal results from a prosthetic fitting. In recognizing these challenges, Össur was the first to design and introduce a specific Iceross
Transfemoral liner to offer comfort, protection and optimal suspension of the transfemoral prosthesis.
1. Size
2. Limb length
3. Profile
4. Use of fitting aids
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 it. 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. It is unique
to the Iceross Seal-In liner and should not be applied to any other Iceross models including the Iceross Seal-In X5.
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.
