The Silipos Distal End Pad - 4 Inch is a mineral-oil-infused gel insert that helps users find a comfortable and reliable spot for use above or below a knee prosthesis. Distal end pads are used with these prosthetics to reduce impact and shock when walking. They usually do not require a doctor's prescription; however, a doctor may recommend it if the user feels pain when walking.
The Silipos Cut-to-Size Distal End Pad can be trimmed for adjustability and convenient size. The gel pad will still work fine with these modifications. Protection to the limb by absorbing shock and abrasion is greatly increased, so much so that some doctors provide a distal pad when introducing patients to their prosthesis.
As the use of the prosthesis continues, the limb will start to take shape with this effect. The purpose of the distal end pad is to also aid the socket fit by enhancing the growth of the limb that is going through changes. The pad is made of a safe, latex-free, and hypoallergenic material to help the universal fit with most patients, regardless of sensitivity to latex-based products.
Users may be interested in protecting their prosthetic from water when showering or visiting the pool or beach. They can do so with the Dry Pro Waterproof Prosthetic Protector.
