Strategic Comfort
The Tamarack Prosthetic Liner Patch uses our patented GlideWear™ Technology to protect skin and strategically reduce the damaging friction that causes painful hotspots, sores and wounds. Prosthetic Liner Patches absorb shear to protect amputees’ skin where it comes into contact with their prosthetic liner. They can also be strategically placed in a Total Liner Cast to reduce friction on the dressing and underlying wound.
Get immediate relief from rubbing at painful points where your residual limb comes into contact with your prosthesis.
Designed for amputees who are experiencing friction/shear-induced pain, redness, soreness, or rubbing on their residual limb.
Silk-like, two-ply breathable fabric prevents moisture and heat buildup against the skin. Stays in place all day long. Patented technology reduces friction 50-80% and protects skin.
Easy to use, durable, and machine washable. Just toss it in the wash with your other laundry. As seen in Amplitude magazine.
Works with most gel or silicone prosthetic liners. Sold 2 patches per package.
Also great for targeted skin protection for kids with epidermolysis bullosa.
Even underneath the stability of a cast, dressings and fragile tissue can be shredded by shear forces. A strategically-placed low-friction interface reduces the shear forces on the dressing and the underlying wound.
How to Order
Available to consumers through Ithaca Sports. Healthcare providers, please contact your preferred O&P supplier for purchase information, or purchase worldwide via our distribution partners.
Instructions for Use
Place the patch against the area of concern. If the skin is broken, be sure to clean and cover appropriately with a wound dressing to support proper wound healing.
Roll up your liner as usual, over the patch and your limb, taking care to ensure the patch does not fold over itself as the liner is rolled into position. Use your prosthesis as usual.
