Liners

How Liners Work

How Liners Work

Liners play an important role in the comfort and health for prosthetic leg users. They fit over your residual limb and go between your limb and the socket (the socket is the shell that encases your limb and connects you to your prosthesis). If you use either a vacuum or a suction suspension system, you’ll also need a sealing sleeve.

The liner is a protective cover made of a flexible, cushioning material. Worn over your residual limb, it reduces movement and chafing between the skin and the socket. Liners are designed with specific characteristics to work with different suspension systems.

Selecting the right liner helps ensure that your prosthesis fits well and is comfortable to wear.

Skeo = Silicone Liner

Skeo liners are made from silicone and provide a high level of stability and good adhesion, whilst remaining very durable. Silicone liners stabilise soft tissue and are easy to use, due to the low friction textile cover to the silky smooth exterior coating which is easy to clean.

Caleo = Copolymer liner

Caleo liners are made from copolymer which is a soft, comfortable and highly elastic material. These liners have thermoplastic properties and can therefore be thermoformed and adapted to the residual limb. Medical white oil in the material has a nourishing effect, making it ideal for patients with dry skin.

Uneo = Polyurethane liner

The Uneo liners ensure a precise and comfortable fit thanks to their outstanding flow properties. They help ensure excellent pressure distribution in the socket. Uneo liners dampen impact and cushion even sensitive, bony or scarred residual limbs.
