Prosthetic Liners are typically replaced every 6-12 months. The Medicare guidelines allow for replacement every six months if needed. Prosthetic Socks are typically replaced every 6 months.

Prosthetic liners exist to improve amputee safety and comfort by adding a cushioning layer between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket. Many choices in liner technology are available, and clinicians often rely on personal intuition and experience to choose which liners are appropriate for which patients.

Prosthetic liners serve two basic functions: skin protection and suspension of the limb. They are made of three base materials that aid with this function: urethane, silicone, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

The liner is a protective cover made of a flexible, cushioning material. Worn over your residual limb, it reduces movement and chafing between the skin and the socket.

A polyurethane (sometimes abbreviated as PUR) liner offers a precise, intimate and comfortable fit for all types of residual limbs. These “flow characteristics” and damping of pressure make it a good choice for sensitive, bony or scarred residual limbs.

Silicone liner prices for prosthetic legs range from $250 to $525. Prices vary ing to the characteristics, brand and types of silicone liners.
