LINER ROLLING DOWN ON LIMB

May indicate a size or length problem. See your prosthetist to resolve.

SWEATING INSIDE OF LINER

This is common when first using a liner, or during strenuous activities. Remove the liner, dry it and your
limb with a soft towel, and reapply the liner. Consult your prosthetist if the problem persists, or before
trying antiperspirants, etc.

Warning: If you ignore this problem, slippage of the liner may occur and could result
in loss of prosthesis.

SKIN IRRITATION ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF THE LINER

This can occur if the liner is pulled onto the limb, instead of being rolled, or if there is a size issue. Ensure
proper donning, and if this does not resolve the problem, contact your prosthetist.

n Failure to clean liner daily or rinse properly. Review the daily maintenance guidelines in this manual.

Thank you for using College Park’s Genesee Gel liners.

The Genesee liner is made with…

n A mineral oil gel that protects against shear and friction, releasing mineral oil over the life of the liner to

moisturize skin and scar tissue.

n Hypoallergenic material – does not contain additives that can cause skin reactions.

n A unique fabric that reduces pistoning, while allowing for circumferential stretch.

n Provides comfort and absorbs forces - so your skin won’t have to.

Assemble the drying stand as shown by inserting the tube through the disc, then onto the base. Finally, place
the cap on top of the tube. The drying stand may be shortened by trimming the tube before placing onto the
base.

Contact your prosthetist with any concerns regarding the warranty or trial period of the liner.

Invert the liner
completely (gel facing
out). Align the bottom
of the liner to the distal
end of limb, with the
logo facing front.

Roll liner gently onto limb. Do not pull on the liner
(like a sock) as this may cause air pockets, skin
irritation, wrinkles, etc.

Ensure that air pockets
have been eliminated and
that there are no wrinkles
in the liner.

LOCKING LINER INSTRUCTIONS

Each liner must have its own pin installed and properly secured by your prosthetist. Do not remove or attempt
to tighten the pin. Inspect the pin daily and if it is found to be loose, do not use the liner. Contact your
prosthetist immediately.

WARNING: Use of an improperly secured pin may lead to noise, separation, and potential injury.

DAILY

Inspect the liner for signs of excessive wear to the gel and fabric,
such as fraying, tears, abrasions, etc. Immediately report any
problems or changes to your prosthetist.

Leave the liner inverted after removing it. Wash thoroughly using
warm water and mild soap that does not irritate your skin. Do
not use any abrasives/scrubbing pads on the liner. Rinse the liner
thoroughly and place it, fabric side out, on the drying stand.

Failure to properly clean and rinse your liner may result in skin
irritations or other fitting problems, and may also reduce the life of
the liner.

Utilize two liners, and rotate use daily. This will allow for proper
drying time and gel recovery, extending the life of your liners.

WARNING: Excessive exposure to products containing

alcohol will damage the liner and void the warranty.
