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 proximal circumference of the residual limb 3 cm distal from the perineum.
2) Measure the distal circumference of the residual limb 5 cm proximal from the end of the resid­
ual limb.
3) Measure the length of the residual limb from its lower end to the pubic bone, straightening out
any bulge in the soft tissue that may be present in the longitudinal axis of the residual limb.
4) Select the liner size that corresponds to the resulting measurement (see fig. 1). You may also
want to try out the other size.
5) Check the fit of the liner.

5.2 Adapting the liner

Determining the final length
1) Align the liner and unroll it onto the residual limb without displacing the soft tissue and ensur­
ing no air pockets are created (see Page 11).
2) Just below the perineum, make a mark on the medial seam of the liner.
3) Roll the liner up again and remove it from the residual limb.
Marking the trim line
1) Position the liner on the workbench such that the medial seam with the mark you have made is
on top and in the centre.
2) Lay the sizing template with the medial side on the liner and align with the mark (mediale
Zuschneideschablone).
3) Transfer the template outline to the liner using chalk.
4) Turn the liner so that the lateral seam is on top and in the centre.
5) Turn the template over and lay it on the liner (laterale Zuschneideschablone). The height
aligns with the ends of the medial outline that you have marked out.
6) Transfer the template outline to the liner using chalk.
Trimming
Recommended tools for liners with a textile outer layer: 719S7 trimming scissors,
>
719S20 scissors for synthetic fibres or conventional, straight-edge scissors
► NOTICE! Do not use wave edge scissors.
Cut the liner along the outline that you have marked out. Note that the end of the liner must
always be outside the prosthetic socket.
