ALPS Extreme™ Liner HD Gel
PART # AKDTHD/AKFRHD
ALPS Extreme HD is a prosthetic liner made of High-Density Gel that provides a high level of comfort and superior protection of the residual limb, even for more active users.
It is indicated for patients with medium and high activity levels as it offers a high level of control while preserving comfort. It is also recommended for patients whose residual limbs have excessive soft tissue and transfemoral amputees.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GEL TECHNOLOGY
The HD Gel relieves the residual limb from vertical and shear forces; at the same time, it makes the liner more compact.
FABRIC TECHNOLOGY
It improves the control of the prosthetic leg and reduces pistoning, while still providing superior protection of the residual limb.
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).
Minimizes the movement of soft tissue and provides a high level of control of the prosthetic leg by combining the properties of the High Density Gel with those of the limited vertical stretch fabric.
Protects the residual limb thanks to the high capacity of the HD Gel to absorb vertical and shear forces.

DISTAL END CONSTRUCTION
The Extreme Liner's distal end assembly process is unique and complex, involving several elements that fuse together to create a highly durable internal structure. This structure results in a liner that is guaranteed to provide the protection, comfort, durability, performance, and fit that users deserve.
