Hello Guests and Colleagues,
Like many of you, I miss, in particular, the Design liner from Willow
Wood and can't wait until they come out with a new usable custom
designed and fabricated system. I will be surprised if that doesn't
happen soon. It is my understanding that the new Express liner from
Willow Wood has the same durometer of the TPE liner that was recently
discontinued. As such, this liner should /accurately/ retrofit the TPE
liner of the past.
I asked for some guidance about this and Willow Wood provided me with
some additional information. It summarily follows:
Willow Wood options for retrofitting Classic/Hybrid gel liners - -
/Progressive and Symmetrical (AK) profiles are available in Alpha
Silicone - //
//
//The new soft silicone Express Liner can be used to retrofit Uniform
profile. //
////The following sizes are currently available: - 6 mm Medium Uniform
(Cushion/Locking) - 6 mm Medium Plus Uniform (Cushion/Locking) - 6 mm
Large Uniform (Cushion/Locking) - 9 mm Large Uniform (Cushion/Locking) - //
/
I have been told that additional Express sizes will continue to be added
in the coming weeks.
Hope it helps a bit.
