Application
This device is an interface component for use only as a component of a lower limb prosthesis.
Intended for single user.
It is intended for moderate to high activity users with well covered residual limbs.
This device is a biocompatible, perforated locking liner that allows air and moisture to escape
through its perforations. During the gait cycle, a silicone valve provides vacuum suspension by
controlling airflow through the perforations on the distal cap.
Note that some high activity users with poor residual limb tissue coverage and/or high sensitivity
may prefer the comfort of the softer silicone Silcare Walk liner to the firmer Silcare Active
liner. Conversely, some low activity users with good residual limb tissue coverage and/or low
sensitivity may prefer the security of the firmer Silcare Active liner to the softer Silcare Walk liner.
