Extreme Liner
ALPS Extreme Liner is a prosthetic liner made of Grip Gel that ensures excellent adhesion to the residual limb, improving control of the prosthesis, without limiting comfort.
It is recommended for patients, both transfemoral and transtibial, with medium activity levels whose skin is in good condition and who are aiming to maintain a good level of control of the prosthetic leg.
Product Description
The ALPS Extreme prosthetic liner combines softness, strength, and cushioning from our Grip Gel with a fabric with limited vertical stretch.
It improves the control of the prosthetic leg and reduces pistoning, while still providing superior protection of the residual limb.
The superior adhesion of the Grip Gel allows the safe suspension of the prosthetic leg.
The result is a comfortable and versatile liner, indicated for patients with low and medium activity levels.

She was unsure if she was making the right decision for her son, but Robert is thankful she did.

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.
