Instructions for Iceross Gel Liner

Iceross and similar gel roll-on liners are generally worn directly over the skin. Before wearing, they must be cleaned with soap and sometimes rubbing alcohol to prevent skin irritations or bacterial buildup. Applying petroleum based skin lubricants, such as A&D ointment or Vaseline, is helpful to reduce tension-sensitive areas on the skin.
Begin donning the liner by turning it inside out completely as shown. The locking pin must be positioned so it is pointing straight off the bottom of the liner. A poorly aligned pin may not engage the lock properly. It can be felt though the liner. After the pin and bottom of the liner are positioned, the liner is ROLLED up on the stump. Keep hands placed on the leading edge of the liner as it is rolled up to eliminate wrinkling.
The goal is to roll the liner in place without stretching to ensure even tension on the skin. Trapped air under the liner can also be problematic, and this rolling technique should prevent it.
The fully donned liner should fit comfortably and appear as shown. Stump socks and nylon sheaths are worn over the gel liner as necessary for proper fit.
