In response to the posting regarding A Liner for a Small KD
One option to consider is the Evolution SP Liner. Invented by Stan
Patterson, CP, of Orlando, Florida, the Evolution SP Liner is durable,
comfortable and is fit as a custom cushion or pin liner. Stan, with more
than 14 years of patient care experience, noticed a void in the liner
market, and wanted a custom liner with the flow characteristics of
urethane and the durability of silicone to provide the optimal interface
for his patients. Made of a platinum-cured silicone, the Evolution SP
Liner is custom made from a mold of each patient's residual limb. This
custom liner assures that the patient is receiving a socket interface
that is anatomically shaped to fit each patient's limb and provides
uniformly distributed forces to the tissues. The liner can also be
created with an external shape that is customized as well, such as
needed for stove pipe designed symes or KD sockets. Additionally, the
clinician will feel confident that he/she has provided the patient with
a skin interface that is biocompatible, durable and will remain
virtually odor free.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [OANDP-L] Liner for small KD
We are looking for suggestions on the best liner (TEC, Alps, Alpha,
Ossur,
etc) for a very small, young, knee disarticulation amputee. His limb
is 22 cm in length, 33 cm in circumference proximally and 17 distally.
He has good/great distal end bearing capability and we are considering
fabricating a 3/4 length socket with suction or expulsion valve and
sleeve suspension. At present we are leaning toward Custom TEC or
Alpha. Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
