The Alpha® Spirit Locking
Liner is a unique limb and skin protection interface that offers
the same skin-friendly, mineral-oil-based gel as the Original
Alpha® Liners, but features an exciting new fabric. Alpha®
Spirit fabric adheres to plastic hook and is more flexible than
the Original Alpha® Liner fabric. The extra flexibility means
that the Spirit Liner is easier to don and doff, and easier to
flex at the knee. The ability to attach to plactic hook opens
up exciting new possibilities for Alpha® use, especially in
terms of suspension.
Choose from three gel thinknesses
to maximize amputee 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.
Alpha® Spirit Locking Liners
are designed for use with a shuttle lock and 10mm pin (such as
the Alpha® Lock or Alpha® Lamination Lock), or the Alpha®
Locking Lanyard, for the ultimate in prosthesis security. The
medium and medium-plus sizes are available with the same small
umbrella that is on the small liner.
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 that you can move the amputee into thicker liners
as the shrinkage progresses.
