Silcare Breath Active BK Locking Liner

Please Note: The supplier has been experiencing some delays with various sizes on these liners and are working to get stock back on the shelves. It is roughly about a 1-2 week delay when out of stock. 

The Blatchford Silcare Active Liner is gentle on fragile skin and protects residual limbs with areas susceptible to shear force abrasion and pressure peaks.

The Silcare Breathe Locking Liner combines the patented technology of the Silcare Breathe Cushion Liner, with the security of a locking system and unique one-way valve on the liner, creating an airtight seal between the skin and the inner surface of the liner.

No separate suspension sleeve is required with Silcare Breathe Locking Liner, contributing to a cooler environment for skin and a more comfortable limb and socket connection.

Uni-directional stretch at the distal end resists pistoning whilst bi-directional stretch at the proximal end allows for comfortable knee flexion, whilst the TendressTM Finish means a lower coefficient of friction than standard silicone reduces shear stress on the skin.

Breathable Technology

The patented technology of Silcare Breathe works by letting the air and perspiration that are often trapped between the liner and skin to escape through specially designed laser drilled perforations.

The air and moisture are then expelled from the socket as the wearer walks, resulting in drier skin and a healthier environment for the residual limb. This helps to increase comfort and control and reduce the damaging effects of relative motion on damp tissues that are often encountered with standard prosthetic liners.

Features and Benefits:

• Laser Perforations: Optimally sized pores distributed uniformly along the length and distal end of the liner permit the escape of moisture. Use with a one-way valve helps to generate a better vacuum and more secure fit.
• Stretch Zones: Uni-directional stretch at the distal end resists pistoning whilst bi-directional stretch at the proximal end allows for comfortable knee flexion.
• Tendresse(TM) Finish: A lower coefficient of friction than standard silicone reduces shear stress on the skin.
• Locking System: 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 with Silcare Breathe Locking liner contributing to a cooler environment for skin and a more comfortable limb and socket connection.
