Is it better to have a silicone (gel) liner for the prosthesis socket, or an inner liner, or even an adsorption type? What are the characteristics? 1. The silicone sleeve experience is the best, but the price is the most expensive. 2. The gel sleeve is secondly softer than the silicone sleeve (suitable for obvious bony processes), and the stability is lower. The price is cheaper than the silicone sleeve, but the service life is shorter, so it is generally not recommended. But if the legs are not shrunk for the first time, you can install a cheaper one. It will save money if you change the cavity after a few months of shrinking and change the silicone sleeve. 3. The traditional inner liner is usually made of polyethylene foam and is relatively hard. If it is not done well, it is easy to wear and tear. If the technology is good, it can also be done well. However, if the technology is generally recommended, silicone sleeves are generally recommended. Negative pressure is not conducive to the health of residual limbs. 4. Adsorption is suitable for short stumps of thighs. If the traditional inner liner is easy to fall off, and the silicone sleeve is too expensive, then this method is adopted. This kind of socks cannot be added. , The skin is definitely not very comfortable in direct contact with the receiving cavity, and the use of negative pressure suspension is harmful to the stump and can only be adapted. shijiazhuang aosuo o&p
