PUTTING ON YOUR PROSTHESIS
Before putting on your liner, make sure that your limb is clean, dry, and free of soap residue.
Do not apply any lotion, powder, or lubricant to the limb or to the liner. These products could damage
the liner.
1. Invert the Alpha Duo® Liner so that the logo is on the inside. Place the end of the liner against the end of
your limb.
The position of the logo does not matter. The logo can face to the front, to the back, or to the side.
Varying the orientation from day to day can prolong the life of the liner.
2. Carefully roll the liner up onto your limb. Make sure that there are no wrinkles or air pockets between the liner
and the limb.
DO NOT PULL the liner onto the limb. Pulling the liner may stretch the gel, causing pulling on the skin
and discomfort.
3. Invert the One Gel Sock so that the silicone side is facing out. Place the end of the inverted sock against
the end of the liner.
4. Roll the sock up onto the limb so that the silicone side is against the liner. Make sure that there are no
wrinkles or air pockets between the One Gel Sock and the liner.
6. Step into the
socket and pull
the sleeve up
onto the residual
limb.
7. If you have a LimbLogic pump, stand up into a full weight-bearing position. Then press the on/o switch
to turn on the LimbLogic pump. Read the LimbLogic instructions for more details.
5. Fold the large
end of the One
Sleeve down
onto the socket
to expose the
open end of the
socket.

When the liner is not being worn, it should be stored with the logo side out in a cool, dry place. If the liner will
not be used for a long time, cover the dry liner with a clean plastic bag.

STORING THE SLEEVE
When the prosthesis is not being worn, the bottom portion of the sleeve should be left on the socket. The
top half of the sleeve should be stored as shown below.

DAILY CLEANING
Clean the inside and outside of the liner
thoroughly. Use lukewarm tap water and
a body soap that does not irritate your
skin. Apply the soap with a clean, soft
cloth or sponge.
Rinse all the soap residue
from the liner with water.
Dry the liner with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
Place the liner on the Drying Stand so
that the side with the logo is on the
outside. Clean your limb with soap
and rinse well.
Caution: Drying the liner with the
logo facing in will damage the liner.
The liner must be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day of wear and disinfected once each week.

WEEKLY DISINFECTING
Place a small amount of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol on a soft, clean cloth. Lightly wipe
the side of the liner without the logo with the cloth for two minutes.
Rinse the alcohol from the liner with water.
Place the liner on the Drying Stand so that the side with the logo is on the outside.
Note: Do not soak the liner in the ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Soaking the liner in
alcohol will stiffen the liner.
