Your prosthesis, especially the inner socket and liner, requires regular cleaning.
Prosthesis
Cleaning with a damp cloth will generally be sufficient. Ottobock recommends Derma Clean to
disinfect the prosthesis. Clean any plastic surfaces with water and skin-friendly soap. Dry the
cleaned areas thoroughly. Do not place the prosthesis on a radiator or other heat source. Ensure
that no soap residue is left on the prosthesis, since this could cause skin irritation on the residual
limb.
Liner
INFORMATION
Remove substances that have penetrated the surface by weekly boiling. Boil your HTV silicone
liner for 1–2 hours; this sterilises the liner.
Clean the liner after every use (at least once daily).
Turn the liner inside out. Wash the liner under running water at body temperature using Ottobock
Derma Clean. Dry the liner with a towel. Accumulation of sweat can cause damage to the liner.
The service life of the product can be extended by regular cleaning. Clean any plastic surfaces
