Alpha® Original Liners
The Alpha Original Liner led the prosthetic world into a whole new level of comfort in 1996. This unique limb and skin protection interface surrounds the residual limb in a layer of skin-friendly, mineral-oil-based gel that contains Vitamin E! Made from thermoplastic elastomer (not silicone or urethane!), the gel gently adheres to the skin to protect against abrasion and breakdown while also proving to be extremely skinfriendly.
The Alpha gel is covered in a layer of durable fabric that helps to extend the life of the liner and makes it very easy for amputees to slide into their sockets.
In order to provide maximum comfort and an excellent socket fit, the Alpha Original Liner is available in three gel thicknesses as well as six sizes to adapt to the amputee’s limb circumference. Additionally, the medium, medium-plus and large sizes are available in three distinct styles of gel patterns to accommodate various limb shapes with additional comfort.
The Alpha Original Liner is heat moldable, allowing prosthetists to easily customize the liner within their facilities.
