We are excited to highlight the WillowWood ALPHA TrūSeal Liner in this segment of The Clinical Minute. Join Liz Hillen, M.Ed., CPO, LPO, as she provides an in-depth look at this versatile liner, and its unique features including Trū Suction, Trū Durability and Trū Volume Control.
ALPHA TrūSeal Liner
WillowWood’s ALPHA TrūSeal liner is an excellent liner for all functional levels and transfemoral amputees. TrūSeal liner comes in the color taupe and in nine different sizes, ranging from 25 centimeters to 43 centimeters.
The ALPHA TrūSeal Liner was designed by WillowWood to ensure a snug fit, without the use of messy lubricants. The liner’s easy-to-clean inner topcoat reduces tack while controlling soft tissue compression and rotation. Included in the box are platinum cured silicone inserts that can be placed within the liner to accommodate the fluctuating edema throughout the day. An embedded mesh fabric within the silicone resists abrasion and improves durability.
Premium Features of ALPHA TrūSeal Liner:
Trū Suction – Four integrated fins maintain close contact to deflect proximally, prevent pistoning, and improve rotational control within the socket.
Trū Durability – The Alpha Silicone and satin finish allows for lubricant free donning and is easy to clean.
Trū Volume Control – Accommodates fluctuating edema throughout the day and uninterrupted suction within the socket.
Ensure a Correct Fit for Your Patient
Assess the ring underweight bearing and confirm there is total contact within the socket. Double check the suction to ensure that it has not been compromised. An incorrect fit would show uneven contact with rings that are upright or deflected.
How Durable is the ALPHA TruSeal Liner?
WillowWood tested the liner at three million cycles for fatigue and no suspension force was lost. This ensures patients have effective liners. WillowWood’s ALPHA TrūSeal Liner is an excellent liner for all functional levels and transfemoral amputees.
