IFU – INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
*NOTE: Nomenclature and the definition of use in this IFU refers to
"ISO 21065:2017. Prosthetics and orthotics — Terms relating to the
treatment and rehabilitation of persons having a lower limb amputation."
Immediate post-operative care (normally up to three days): Treatment
provided after surgery where the focus is recovery from the procedure,
achieving medical stability, preventing complications and initiating
mobility
Early rehabilitation: Treatment, provided once the person is medically
stable, to achieve optimum conditions for rehabilitation with or without
a prosthesis
Temporary (preparatory) prosthesis: Individually manufactured
prosthesis, to permit early mobilization and gait re-education prior to
provision of a definitive prosthesis

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Iceross Post-Op liner is a reusable liner used in post-operative
therapy after trans-tibial or trans-femoral amputation.
The liner is available in two different versions. One version is for trans-
tibial patients. It has an umbrella and a matrix. The other version is for
trans-femoral patients. This version of the liner is a sleeve only. It does
not have an umbrella or a matrix.
The two versions are made of silicone and have an EasyGlide coating.
They are used for compression treatment of the residual limb after
immediate postoperative care.
Compression treatment can be performed under medical supervision by
care providers (i. e. doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, certified
prosthetists). Therapy should begin 5–7 days post-operatively, ideally
after an Össur Rigid Dressing (ORD) has been applied to the residual
limb immediately following amputation surgery and used for 5–7 days.
Use of the liner should commence at such an early stage, as the largest
change in residual limb volume occurs during the first weeks after
amputation. Compression treatment is the most effective during this
period. The liner is introduced gradually, ensuring the amputee and
residual limb become accustomed to compression and the new
environment. Compression therapy is done until the optimal goal of
wound healing is obtained, and the patient is prepared for the next step,
i.e. rehabilitation with or without a prosthesis.
The trans-tibial version of the liner can be included as a liner in
a temporary (preparatory) prosthesis* interface in the later part of early
rehabilitation, when the residual limb is healed and stable.
