Approximately equivalent to a 2 ply sheath.
The Original Silosheath™ is a stretch nylon sheath or sock lined with Silipos® proprietary polymer gel to provide protection to the residual limb from abrasion, friction and shearing while allowing the limb maximum flexibility and mobility. It also absorbs shock and pressure exerted from wearing the various prosthetic devices. The gel lining is approximately 2mm thick at the toe of the residual limb.
Silosheath™ is a prosthetic sheath impregnated with Silipos® gel which contains a medical grade mineral oil to provide the following benefits:
Minimizes skin breakdown.
Reduces friction, shearing and abrasion on residual limb.
Cushions and protects.
Softens and soothes.
Hand-washable and reusable.
Adaptable with most prosthetic socket designs.
To meet the different needs of prosthetic sheath users, Silosheath™ is carefully engineered in four different styles:
Standard
Double Cushion
Active, and
Extra-Life.
