Contraindications For Use - Ossur Iceross Seal-In X5 Gebrauchsanweisung

ENGLISH
A. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a high quality silicone liner from Ossur. We can
assure you that you have made the right choice. Please carefully review
and follow these instructions before fitting a patient with the liner or
accessory products. Remember that informing the patient concerning
proper handling and care of the liner, as set forth in these instructions,
is important to achieve patient comfort and maximum product life.
B. CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE
Contraindications are:
1. Unstable limb volume.
2. Extremely conical limbs (see Section J).
3. Very short residual limbs.
Minimum recommended length:
Transtibial: To assess the minimum recommended length, measure the
residual limb length from the mid patella tendon to the distal end, with
knee in full extension.
Transfemoral: Measure the residual limb length with the tissue hanging
down, from the perineum to the distal end.
• Compare the measurement to the table below.
• Low trimlines of the hard socket can affect suspension and should be
assessed on individual basis.
Liner Sizes
18 - 23
25 - 30
32 - 40
45 - 50

NOTE: Low posterior trim lines of the hard socket can affect suspension
and should be assessed on individual basis.
C. LINER SIZING: (Figure A)
To determine the correct Iceross size:
1. Measure the circumference of the residual limb at 4cm from the
distal end with the tissue hanging down.
2. Choose the Iceross size, which corresponds to the measurement or
which, is immediately below the indicated measurement.
3. DO NOT choose a liner size, which exceeds the measurement, or
round up.
EXAMPLE: If the residual limb measures 31cm at the indicated location,
choose size 30 NOT size 32.
Selecting the correct size is very important.
If the liner is too tight, this may cause pistoning and/or numbness and
blistering. A Seal-In liner that is too tight will also produce excessive ring
tension to the residual limb from the seals. If the liner is too loose, in-
creased perspiration and/or movement of the limb inside the liner may
occur. Perspiration and movement can lead to blisters and rashes. If any
of the above symptoms or any other indication of improper fit are noted,
the user should be instructed to contact his/her physician or prosthetist
immediately.
D. TRIMMING AN ICEROSS LINER: (Figure B)
Iceross liners may be trimmed for user preference and to increase range
of motion. The Iceross CurveMaster is specifically designed for this func-
