proper handling and care of the liner, as set forth in these instructions, is
important to achieve patient comfort and maximum product life.

CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE

Contraindications are:
1. Unstable limb volume.
2. Extremely conical limbs (See ICEROSS
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 SIZING (Figure 1)
To determine the correct Iceross size:
1. Measure the circumference of the residual limb at 4 cm 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 31 cm 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, increased 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
