Donning How-To
-
Roll on the Silicone Liner.
• Make sure there is no air between the bottom of the leg and the liner by pushing the liner between your fingers so it is flat.
• Use lotion or spray alcohol on the rubber gasket to ensure smooth donning.
• Add any socks that you may need for a proper fit. Cut off the bottom of a sock and tuck it into the rubber gasket. Roll the sock up the entire length of the residual limb. - While sitting, put your leg into the prosthesis half–way.
-
Stand on the leg (or push on your knee) until you hear a “clicking” sound. This means you are in the leg and it is safe to walk.
• Push the release valve while you stand to help don the prosthesis.
• You will feel a hard stop when you reach the bottom. This means you are in the leg and it is safe to walk.
• Do not excessively force the leg into the prosthesis.
