Great question. In this case, I was first introduced to the patient 4-5 years after he had received his transtibial prosthesis. He mentioned he had not been washing his liner and there were odors present. Normally when we have a patient who has liner odor we first make sure they are washing their liner and limb routinely with our normal protocol using Dawn Dish Soap. If odors persist we recommend periodically rinsing the liner with isopropyl alcohol. I was curious to see how the Liner Wand would compare to those two methods when it came to removing odors to see if it was a viable product I would be comfortable recommending to my patients and caregivers I work with.
@@TheLegLady I know I'm severely late, but thank you for your response. I don't wash my liner every day (depending on activity level) as I spend most of my day sitting at home (SAHM). Almost every time I remove my liner I have an accompanying odor, even though I wash every other day at minimum. I was just curious as to the testing method for an unkept liner versus a regularly cared for liner. I do want to thank you for your video though. It helped me exponentially in the decision to give the test kit a go and it worked wonderfully. I will be signing up for the regular subscription. I appreciate your video a lot.
???? What questions to you have about liner care????
I have a special liner sock I wear under the actual liner, requires a simple wash/rinse cleaning - no fuss, no smell 🤪
Why would it not be washed in 4 - 5 years? How is that supposed to be a good test for the liner wand, where it's supposed to be used every 2 weeks?
