| At last, the comfort
of the Alpha Liner is now available for upper extremity amputees!
Ohio Willow Wood has adapted its revolutionary lower extremity Alpha
Liners for use by above elbow and below elbow amputees.
The Alpha Upper Extremity Liner surrounds the residual
limb in a layer of skin-friendly, mineral-oil-based gel that contains
Vitamin E. Made from thermoplastic elastomer (not silicone or
urethane!), the gel gently adheres to the skin to protect against
abrasion and breakdown. The Alpha® gel is covered in a layer
of durable fabric that extends the life of the liner and allows
it to easily slide into a socket.
In order to provide maximum comfort and excellent
socket fit, the Alpha Upper Extremity Liner is available in 3mm
gel thickness and three sizes to adapt to the amputee’s limb
circumference. The unique oval-shaped umbrella allows for a more
comfortable fitting liner on upper extremity patients. Like the
lower extremity liners, the Alpha Upper Extremity Liner is heat
moldable, allowing prosthetists to easily customize the liner
within their facilities.
