Liner:
Blatchford active
A moderate vertical stretch liner for trans-tibial & trans-femoral amputees
The Blatchford active Liner provides an ideal balance of comfort, control and dependable suspension for everyday use. It is designed for low to moderate activity wearers, community walkers, and individuals seeking enhanced confidence in their prosthetic suspension. A durable fabric with moderate vertical stretch provides increased control and helps reduce pistoning within the socket. The soft, stretchy medical grade gel conforms closely to the residual limb and its naturally tacky properties offer a reassuring sense of suspension and stability for wearers with healthy skin.

Blatchford Sleeves & Liners Measurement Guidelines
- Step 1:
The patient should position themselves safely and comfortably with the residual limb pointing towards the floor so residual tissue is hanging downwards. - Step 2:
Using the below limb, product and brand guidelines, determine where the measurements should be taken.
- Step 3:
Directed by the above positioning, lay a tape measure around the residual limb so that it is taught over the skin but not tight enough to leave any sort of indentation. - Step 4:
If the patient is measured between product sizes it is recommended to prescribe the lower of the two sizes. - Step 5:
Consider the length of the residual limb. A particularly long or short stump may mean fewer products are suitable
