Prosthetic liners are a valuable component of your "prosthetic system". A prosthetic liner must preserve skin integrity, provide the appropriate degree of cushion, prevent pistoning, and most importantly offer durability.
Gel
The Encore V Liner was skillfully engineered to meet the demands of today's prosthetic users. Thermo-Ply's team evaluated each requirement and made improvements on today's designs. First, Encore Liner V uses a similar thermoplastic Gel (TPE) as other manufacturers, however they added Mineral Oil Gel to their formula. By enriching TPE gel with Mineral Oil Gel, the Encore V is able to offer durability and provide relief for a number of different skin conditions. Mineral oil gel can safely lubricate and limit moisture from escaping your skin, while TPE adds durability.
Offered in 6mm Uniform Gel thickness in the front and 3mm in the back.

And the darker back panel is a heavier fabric intended to eliminate stretch length-wise to stop chafing and "pistoning". Each unique fabric has been specially treated to provide a soft and smooth high-end finish.
