Cleaning your Liner

Cleaning your hands and your liner should be part of your daily routine. Ā Prosthetic cleansers formulated to be used on prosthetic liner materials like gel, urethane or silicone. Ā check your own sensitivity prior to use. Ā Your own body wash or Dawn dishwashing soap are other options. First turn inside out, rinse off any debris with warm water, then add a drop or two of soap/cleaner, rub gently, and rinse WELL. Ā You can also wash the outside. Ā Let air dry. Ā Usually takes a couple of hours to fully dry. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations. You can also clean weekly, or when the liner smells, with a very small portion of rubbing alcohol or also Febreze. Ā Use sparingly as it can degrade your liner.
