Design Your Comfort with Alpha Design

Ohio Willow Wood's Alpha DESIGN Liners can be easily created through the use of OMEGA^TM Tracer 7.0 CAD system or from plaster casts. After capturing the limb shape, practitioners determine how much elastomer gel to apply throughout the liner and where. Alpha DESIGN Liners allow prosthetists to add up to 12mm of gel where needed; thin gel down to 2mm behind the knee; and apply up to 15mm of gel over indentations on the limb. Prosthetists can also choose the fabric style and color of the Alpha DESIGN Liner.
