Cover any open wounds and non-intact skin with a product similar to Spenco . Alps states to avoid using any type of animal based lotions or powders on your residual limb or liner. These products may damage your Alps Liner. Invert your Alps prosthetic liner so that the logo is on the inside. Place the end of your liner against the end of your limb. If using a pin lock liner, center the pin attachment on the bottom of your limb. Carefully roll your prosthetic liner onto your limb. ***Warning: Do not pull your liner onto your limb. Pulling the liner may stretch the skin and result in an uncomfortable fit and possible skin issues along the edge of your liner. Last, make sure that there are no wrinkles or air pockets between the liner and your limb. Air pockets cause excessive sweating.
