Xtend U – An Amputee solution for a life without pain, blisters and infections
Xtend U is a multi-layer prosthetic liner designed to ventilate the stump, reduce humidity, and enhance comfort for extended wear, minimizing chafing and infection risks.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Xtend U is a prosthetic liner developed to help ventilate the stump while fulfilling the primary role of a liner. Unlike traditional liners, it is made of 3 layers.
Layer Composition
-
First Layer:
- A compression sock in direct contact with the skin.
- Made of an ultra-breathable textile.
- Features friction-increasing dots that further support the suspension to the stump.
-
Second Layer:
- A washable super-absorbent material.
- Can absorb up to 1000% of its weight in water without significant volume change.
-
Third Layer:
- Allows for securing the liner to the prosthetic.
- Protects the inner layers.
- Helps transmit loads from the prosthetic.
Benefits
This combination of materials enables reducing by half the relative humidity around the stump. This will make a massive difference for users, providing:
- A cooler feeling
- Reduced risk of chafing
- Fewer blisters, sores, and infections
Xtend U will provide crucial comfort, allowing prosthetic users to wear their prosthetics for extended periods of time.
