| The
Alpha® MAX Cushion Liner, the newest sibling in Ohio Willow
Wood family of Alpha® products, incorporates the same skin-friendly
thermoplastic elastomer gel, which contains mineral oil for conditioning
the skin. The major difference in this liner is the MAX fabric that
was developed exclusively for Ohio Willow Wood by our fabric supplier.
The MAX fabric provides an outer cover for the liner that has tested
three times more abrasion resistant than other liners on the market
today. The fabric has also virtually eliminated any gel separation
that can occur over time with all liners. The Alpha® MAX Liner
is the perfect interface solution for the challenges faced by prosthetists
with patients that are highly active or have unique wear issues.
Now Alpha® sockets
can be made quickly and easily with the new Omega™ System.
This timesaving package includes a broad range of tools incorporating
the best of Tracer Technology. Precise and comfortable fitting
sockets are created with state-of-the-art 3-D shape capture techniques
and modification tools that offer both prosthetists and amputees
amazing timesaving possibilities.
Choose from three gel
thicknesses to maximize comfort and socket fit, and choose from
six sizes to adapt to the amputee's limb circumference. Additionally,
the medium, medium-plus, and large sizes are available in three
distinct styles to accommodate various limb shapes. The Alpha®
MAX Cushion Liner is ideal for use in suction sockets with the
Alpha® Suction Pro or Suction Pyramid.
Use the thickest liner that
is comfortable for the patient. The 6mm and 9mm liners provide
the most cushioning for the amputee, and are often the best choice.
The 3mm liner is useful at times when at least 3mm of shrinkage
is expected, so the amputee can be moved into thicker liners as
the shrinkage progresses.
A new socket should be fabricated,
according to instructions, for best performance of the Alpha®
Liner
