Alpha® P-POD Cushion Liner - Overview

As with all other Alpha® products the Alpha® P-POD™ Liner surrounds the residual limb in a layer of skin friendly, mineral oil-based gel that contains Vitamin E. Alpha® P-POD™ Liners are sized with young amputees in mind bringing comfort to young amputees for the first time.

Alpha® P-POD™ Liners are made with our custom-made Alpha® MAX fabric, which is three times more abrasion-resistant than many other liners on the market and helps to increase the durability around the trim lines and other common wear areas. This liner is made for those who are highly active and require a heavy-duty liner and has proven to be ideal for children.

How could we not be a part of their lives…

Introducing the P-POD Paediatric Prosthetic and Orthotic Devices. Designing and manufacturing paediatric products requires more than just taking adult components and making them smaller. The research and development team spent a great deal of time studying how children walk in the various stages of physical development. The P-POD components were tested vigorously in the lab and then evaluated by a helpful group of field testers. All P-POD feet and components have been ISO-tested to a patient weight limit of 132lbs.

The exciting new products are just the beginning for the P-POD family of products. In the months and years to come, we hope to add additional new components to give paediatric patients the best possible function to be able to live their lives to the fullest. From the infant who needs the protective cushioning of the Alpha Liner while he is learning to crawl, to the youngster who needs durable and functional components to help her tackle the playground with ease, P-POD system provides big benefits for your small patients.

Alpha® P-POD Cushion Liner - Specification
Alpha® Liners, the fabric-covered gel socket interfaces, have provided a high level of comfort for thousands of amputees since 1996. The P-POD™ versions of the Alpha® Liner feature the same skin-friendly gel—a thermoplastic elastomer that is infused with mineral oil. The gel cushions the limb and provides protection from shear, impact, and abrasive forces.

Parents who are concerned about their children’s sensitive skin need not worry about the Alpha® gel; it has been thoroughly tested at an outside lab to determine its potential to cause a skin reaction. On a scale of 0 to 4, with a score of zero indicating “No reaction” and a score of 4 indicating “Severe reactivity”, the Alpha® gel received a score of 0 in every test.


Alpha® P-POD™ Liners are made with our custom-made Alpha® MAX fabric, which is three times more abrasion-resistant than many other liners on the market and helps to increase the durability around the trim lines and other common wear areas.

Liners are sized with young amputees in mind bringing, which brings comfort to them for the first time.
