A below-knee prosthesis with a Pedilin liner is an artificial limb designed for individuals with transtibial (below-knee) amputation. It replaces the missing part of the leg from below the knee to the foot, allowing the user to walk and perform daily activities. The prosthesis consists of several components: a socket, liner, pylon, and prosthetic foot. The Pedilin liner, made from soft, flexible polyethylene foam, is placed inside the socket and acts as a cushion between the residual limb and the hard socket. It provides comfort, reduces pressure points, absorbs shock, and prevents skin irritation or injury. The socket is custom-made to fit the residual limb securely. The pylon connects the socket to the foot and allows weight transfer. The prosthetic foot provides balance and movement. This combination ensures proper fit, comfort, and mobility. A below-knee prosthesis with a Pedilin liner enhances quality of life and independence for amputees.
