Silipos

Explorer Pin and Cushion prosthetic suspension liners. Silipos has introduced new design features to its popular Explorer Pin and Cushion tri-block polymer gel prosthetic suspension liners. The liners now have a proprietary stabilizing matrix to reduce distal elongation during gait while maintaining distal conformity, even with irregularly shaped residual limbs. Both liners have a smaller, silk-screened logo that cannot be felt by the patient or seen when placed in the socket. A translucent urethane cap provides improved strength and flexibility.

 

The liners are retrofittable only to Explorer sockets that have the same gel thickness, liner shape, and size.
