Silcare™ Walk (non-perforated liner)
Silcare™ Walk liners have been developed using a softer silicone to improve the cushioning especially at the distal end. This range of liners is designed to be more flexible, softer and provide increased comfort. The softer silicone gives less restriction on the limb, making knee flexion easier and enabling the liner to conform easily to the thigh.
Available in both Locking and Cushion versions, Silcare™ Walk uses a softer silicone, and benefits low to moderate wearers and those with more sensitive or fragile residual limbs i.e. those who have an activity level of 2.
- Activity level 2
Key Benefits
-
Optimal Comfort
Softer silicone for improved cushioning, means less restriction on the limb and easier knee flexion (3 x more longitudinal stretch). Conforms easily to thigh (2 x more circumferential stretch)
-
Reliable Fit
Firmer silicone allows a firmer connection between the residual limb and the liner.
-
Knitting Technology
Seamless knitting technology provides bi-directional stretch to improve comfort and contouring, and reduce shear force on the knee as it flexes. Use with a one-way valve on the socket helps to generate a better vacuum and more secure fit.
-
Reduced stress on skin
Tendresse™ finish provides a lower coefficient of friction than standard silicone, reducing shear stresses on the skin.
Available in both Cushion and Locking system
Cushion System
- Use in conjunction with a one way valve and airtight suspension sleeve helps to generate a better vacuum and more secure fit.
Locking System
- Uni-directional stretch distally resists pistoning whilst bi-directional stretch proximally
allows for comfortable knee flexion. - Locking system and unique one way valve create an airtight seal between the skin and
the inner surface of the liner. No separate suspension sleeve is required making knee
flexion easier, creating a cooler environment for skin and a more comfortable limb and
socket connection.
