When measuring the bottom of your limb, it may be easier to first place a mark 1.5 or 2.5 inches up before taking your circumference measurement, depending up on the bottom pad. It's common to measure too high on your limb and as a result select a size that is too large.
Alps Padsil Distal End Pads are made from non-allergenic silicone engineered for adding extra cushion to bottom of your residual limb. These Alps distal end pads are very compressible under low loads, allowing relief the harshness associated with some prosthetic socket designs. Alps Padsil end pads will maintain their shape over time, can be modified and well as help you maintain total contact within your socket.
Wearing an Alps Padsil end pad can help increase the comfort of your prothesis. Alps constructed the Padsil using silicone rather than gel providing a more durable end pad. It doesn't absorb friction as well as gel, however alps padding can absorb pressure well.
Consider adding an Alps Padsil to your prosthetic regimen if you experience excessive pressure along the bottom of your residual limb. Those amputees who have a conically shaped limb, a Padsil will add protection to the end of your bone from abrupt pressure. If you lost a significant amount of volume, either naturally or through weight loss and your residual limb is now an inch or two shorter than your socket, adding a Padsil can help accommodate this length difference.
Depending upon your prosthetic design, you can add your Padsil to bottom of your socket or inside your prosthetic liner. Some amputees place their Padils in-between their prosthetic socks. Make sure when selecting your size that the circumference is larger than the very bottom of your residual limb to avoid edge pressure.
