Prosthetic Socket Pads Description

The Amputee Essentials Calibrate Socket Adjustment Gel Pads feature a sleek design with tapered edges for an exceptional fit. These highly versatile prosthetic socket pads allow for many applications intended to relieve pressure points, discourage blisters from friction and compensate for a loose prosthetic socket. Each shape is covered along the top with a smooth fabric to reduce friction. The flat bottom side is exposed gel that is tacky to the touch and great for making sure your prosthetic socket padding stay in place.

Benefits

Socket Adjustment Gel Pads allow you fine tune your prosthetic comfort using any combination of four unique shapes. Easily carry these socket pads with you and quickly create relief over a bone or strategically tighten your socket. If you can't seem to find the best prosthetic sock ply combination, try incorporating the oval or small strips to refine your fit mid-day or before a workout.

Suggested Use

Calibrate Socket Adjustment Pads are designed for self adjusting your prosthetic socket fit. Whether you're experiencing pressure over your tibia or femur or discomfort along your knee cap, there is a socket pad shape for you. Create any combination of shapes to find the relief you need. Use these pads to build a void for any specific bone or as a method to tighten your socket. This prosthetic socket padding works well with any prosthetic liner and can be used with vacuum and suction suspension.

How-to Use

A few ideas on how and where to use Adjustment Gel Pads.

Below-Knee Socket Pad Use:

  1. Place the Oval Gel Pad along the back of your knee, fabric side against your skin, to tighten your socket; you can adhere the gel to the inside of your socket or prosthetic liner. Don't hesitate to place the exposed gel against your skin if you prefer.
  2. Take the Horseshoe Gel Pad and have it cradle your knee cap to tighten your BK socket and reduce your sock ply count.
  3. Place your fibula head (side bone) inside the horseshoe shape with the "U" facing up. This will create a pocket for your fibula head. Make sure the gel horseshoe is not touching your fibula head but rather surrounding it to create a pocket of relief.
  4. Each small strip pack comes with 2 strips. Place one strip along each side of your tibia to form a pocket or void for your tibia bone, thereby creating relief. BK socket pad gel side placed against your skin. Do not place these pads on your tibia but rather on both sides.

Above-Knee Prosthetic Use:

  1. Place both Large Strips, side-by-side, to relieve the end of your femur along the side. Depending upon your prosthetic system you can place these pads inside your liner, fabric side against your skin; or place in-between your inner and outer socket, along the side, above the end of your femur.
  2. Place the Oval Gel Pad just below--and not underneath--your sitting bone to help tighten your socket. Everyone is different and you can experiment whether the pad is most comfortable underneath or just below your sitting bone. Depending upon your socket design, the oval gel pad may not be comfortable directly underneath your sitting bone where you find yourself sitting on the pad.
  3. Add both the Large and Small Gel strips, side-by-side and stacked, beginning along the area where your jean's back pocket starts. This use case will tighten your prosthetic above-knee socket. Place the socket pads in-between the inner and outer socket (if you have an inner socket); or inside your prosthetic liner, fabric side against your skin.
