Prosthetic Interface Materials
Prosthetic Interface Materials
A prosthetic interface is that material located closest to the wearer's skin, whether it be the traditional fine nylon sheaths and stump socks or the newer urethane, polymer gel and silicone liners with or without integral suspension pins. At I.A.S we strive to match each individual with the most appropriate interface and prosthetic suspension system. Each type of system requires routine cleaning to maintain good hygiene and healthy skin. We also carry a number of skin care lotions and ointments to be used separately from or together with the various types of gel liners. Considerable relief from pressure and friction-related skin problems and effective management of persistent scar tissue can be obtained through the use of a carefully shaped and supportive prosthetic socket coupled with the correct interface material.
