ANTERIOR POSTERIOR TAPERED LINER
PART # APDT-TP/APFR-TP
ALPS' Anterior Posterior Tapered prosthetic liner made of HD Gel is designed with a 6 mm anterior and a 3 mm posterior thickness to reduce bunching in the popliteal region and provide a high level of protection to bony areas.
It is indicated for transtibial users with medium and high activity levels who desire greater control and freedom of movement without sacrificing comfort.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
6/3MM TAPERED
ALPS AP Tapered Liner is gradually tapered from the thicker anterior to the thinner posterior side to provide freedom of movement to transtibial users.
GEL & FABRIC TECHNOLOGY
By combining a high density gel with a limited vertical stretch fabric, this liner minimizes soft tissue movement and reduces vertical pistoning, offering a high level of control of the prosthetic leg.
LOCKING & CUSHION SUSPENSION
The locking version features a Reinforced Matrix to prevent distal pistoning and contain redundant tissue.
KEY BENEFITS
Reduces pistoning thanks to the fabric's limited vertical stretch and the distal matrix (locking version).
Protects the residual limb thanks to the high capacity of the HD Gel to absorb vertical and shear forces.
Protects bony areas with its 6 mm anterior wall thickness.
Great freedom of movement thanks to the 3 mm posterior thickness.
Minimizes soft tissue movement and provides superior control of the prosthetic leg by combining High Density Gel with a limited vertical stretch fabric.
