Prosthetic liner Proteor Stepline Plus Tapered

Product description

Stepline Plus Tapered is a prosthetic liner specially designed for tapered and sensitive residual limbs, featuring reinforced distal padding for enhanced comfort and protection. Proteor Stepline Plus Tapered is a prosthetic liner made from soft copolymer gel, specifically designed for patients with tapered residual limb shapes and increased tissue sensitivity. The key feature of the Tapered model is the increased thickness of the gel layer at the distal end (up to 6 mm), which effectively absorbs peak loads and provides soft cushioning in the most sensitive area. Thanks to its thoughtful anatomical shape and flexible gel layer, the liner ensures a stable fit, relieves tension from the residual limb, and provides a high level of comfort during daily use. Main advantages of the Proteor Stepline Plus Tapered liner Reinforced distal protection (6 mm) The increased thickness of the copolymer gel at the distal end creates a soft "cushion" that excellently redistributes vertical pressure, dampens micro-shocks, and protects the distal end of the residual limb from soreness during weight-bearing. Special geometry for tapered residual limbs The liner's shape is optimized for conical residual limb contours. This prevents material slippage, void formation in the distal socket area, and ensures tight, even contact along the entire length. Soft copolymer gel for sensitive skin The gel layer redistributes compressive load and reduces friction, making this liner an ideal choice for patients with sensitive, scarred, or irritation-prone skin. Anatomical posterior profile The design features variable thickness: The anterior part (6 mm) provides additional protection for the tibial crest; The posterior part (3 mm) facilitates knee flexion and prevents pressure in the popliteal area. Versatility of fixation types The liner is available in two connection options: With distal locking attachment (Locking) — for use with locking suspension systems; Without distal attachment (Cushion) — for vacuum and compression systems. Who is the Proteor Stepline Plus Tapered liner suitable for? Users with tapered residual limb shapes; Patients with increased sensitivity at the distal (end) part of the residual limb; Individuals with residual limbs prone to soreness and irritation under load; Users employing locking or vacuum suspension systems; Patients requiring maximum cushioning and soft support in daily life.
