Sleeve:
Blatchford xplore
A low vertical stretch prosthetic sleeve
The Blatchford xplore Sleeve is designed for mid‑ to high‑activity wearers who need reliable suspension and enhanced control throughout the day. Ideal for individuals with active daily routines or those participating in more demanding activities such as hiking or gym‑based exercise. A durable fabric with low vertical stretch improves prosthetic control while still allowing comfortable knee flexion. Its thin 2mm profile minimises bulk around the knee, offering lightweight comfort without compromising suspension.
The soft medical-grade gel provides a secure, conforming seal without restricting circulation. Its naturally tacky surface enhances suspension and helps reduce shear forces on the skin during daily
or prolonged use.

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
