STEP  1: Thigh Measurement

How to measure Bionest Gel sleeve.

STEP 2: Find your size

Take your Top and Bottom circumferences and use the chart to determine your size. If you're in-between sizes, we suggest remeasuring again to be on the safe side.

SIZE BOTTOM (cm) TOP (cm)
Small 18 - 22 cm 26 - 31 cm
Medium 20 - 26 cm 31 - 38 cm
Medium + 26 - 32 cm 38 - 44 cm
Large 32 - 36 cm 44 - 50 cm
Large + 36 - 40 cm 50 - 60 cm
X-Large 40 - 44 cm 60 - 70 cm

When measuring your thigh, pay special attention to how tight you take your measurement. It's best to pull the ends of your tape measure somewhat tight and then release. Your goal is to find a middle ground of how much tension you should apply to your measuring tape. Too tight and too loose will both result in a poorly fitting prosthetic sleeve.

How-to Apply

Installing your Alliance Gel Sleeve is easier than most sleeves. Insert the Alliance Prosthetic Sleeve so that the inside is facing out and roll the sleeve up onto the socket. Begin rolling and working the reflected lower half of your sleeve over your socket, until it's full reflected over your prosthetic socket. Once your sleeve is fully installed, begin rolling your sleeve from the top down to a level below your socket's trimelines. When you're done it should look like a floating tube or a donut around your socket. Now your prosthetic leg is ready for you to place your residual limb inside and begin rolling your sleeve upward. Place your residual limb inside the socket and roll your Alliance Gel Sleeve onto your thigh.
