Silcare™ Active (non-perforated liner)

The Blatchford Silcare™ Active liner is designed for the more active wearer with a well covered residual limb who prefers a firmer interface and connection with their Prosthesis. Silcare Active protects residual limbs with areas susceptible to shear force abrasion and pressure peaks. The fabric cover with integrated matrix contours perfectly to the limb and zonal stretch areas allow comfortable knee flexion but resist distal stretch which would result in the prosthesis slipping away from the body.

Silcare™ Active uses a firmer silicone, making it suitable for more active users i.e. those who have an activity level of 3-4.

Activity level 3

Key Benefits

Reliable Fit

Firmer silicone allows a firmer connection between the residual limb and the liner.
Improved Comfort

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.
