Extreme HD Liner
ALPS Extreme HD is a prosthetic liner made of High Density Gel that provides a high level of comfort and superior protection of the residual limb, even for more active users.
It is indicated for patients with medium and high activity levels as it offers a high level of control while preserving comfort. It is also recommended for patients whose residual limbs have excessive soft tissue and for transfemoral amputees.
Product Description
ALPS Extreme prosthetic liner, in its HD Gel version, provides the patient with comfort and control.
The HD Gel relieves the residual limb from vertical and shear forces; at the same time, it makes the liner more compact.
The fabric, with its limited vertical elongation, further limits vertical pistoning.
This makes it an ideal liner for the most active users who are looking to maintain maximum control of the prosthetic leg without compromising comfort.
Key benefits
-
Reduces pistoning thanks to the fabric's limited vertical stretch and the distal matrix (locking version)
-
Minimizes the movement of soft tissue and provides a high level of control of the prosthetic leg by combining the properties of the High Density Gel with those of the limited vertical stretch fabric
-
Protects the residual limb thanks to the high capacity of the HD Gel to absorb vertical and shear forces

Robert Rodriguez
Robert Rodriguez was born with a birth defect called fibular hemimelia. At ten months old, his mother faced the tough decision to amputate his leg. She was unsure if she was making the right decision for her son, but Robert is thankful she did. Due to his amputation and wearing a prosthetic, he is proud to show others that he, and all amputees, are capable of doing the same things as any other able-bodied individual.
Today, Robert is a father, a husband, a motivational speaker, and an athlete. He competes on the Para-Elite Triathlon Team for Team USA and Team USA for amputee soccer. The trials and tribulations Robert has had to mentally and physically overcome as a young man has taught him to always push through no matter the circumstances.
