Prosthetic liners are designed to provide suspension and possibly cushion depending upon the application.  Many amputees will wear a Liner-Liner sock underneath their gel or silicone liners to wick perspiration and control odor.   As prosthetic manufacturers offer more styles, it is important to determine which prosthetic liner attributes are important to your amputee lifestyle. Prosthetic liners are available in different thicknesses, materials and styles.  Gain a brief overview of prosthetic liners, how they work, material options, and caring instructions by reading our Prosthetic Liner Guide.
