Symmetrical Transfemoral Liner by WillowWood
The Alpha® Hybrid AK Liner with symmetrical profile features hybrid gel, which has a higher durometer that combines durability with comfort. The liner features 9mm distal gel thickness and 2.5mm anterior/posterior gel thickness. This symmetrical design of the gel allows the liner to be rotated for extended wear. The liner's one-way stretch Select fabric controls pistoning without using a rigid distal matrix and provides tissue compression without uncomfortable pressure on the limb. A flexible accordion umbrella changes with the size of the liner, allowing it to blend with a patient's anatomy for an almost unnoticeable feeling.
