MAINTENANCE
4.1
Supplies
The following sections contain the maintenance procedures required to ensure continued operation
of the Lower Extremity Fasciotomy System for Laerdal. Refurbishment of the Leg Skin requires
Sil-Poxy (silicone adhesive), gloves, and paper towels. A new set of Fascias (Fasciotomy – Fascia
Set FASC-FSCE-001) must be used to replace the used Fascias and reset the SYSTEM.
4.2
Cleaning and Drying
Silicone material is extremely durable and needs little maintenance. If the skin or muscle layers
are dirty and have particles on them, apply 70% isopropyl alcohol to a cloth or paper tissue and
wipe away from the surface. Using soap and water will also remove any excess debris from the
surface of the silicone components. Let the silicone dry for 1-2 minutes prior to continued use.
4.3
Refurbishment
To refurbish the leg skin, remove from leg and lay it flat and upright. Using gloves, apply small
amounts of Sil-Poxy along all cut sections of skin. Then press the cuts closed and allow to cure
for 15 minutes.
To refurbish the Fascia, use a new set of Fascias and replace the cut ones following the
instructions in section 2.3.
