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

  1. 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.
  2. Second Layer:

    • A washable super-absorbent material.
    • Can absorb up to 1000% of its weight in water without significant volume change.
  3. 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.
