Anterior Posterior Tapered Liner
ALPS AP Tapered prosthetic liner made of HD Gel is designed with a 6 mm anterior and a 3 mm posterior thickness to reduce bunching in the popliteal region and provide a high level of protection to bony areas.
It is indicated for transtibial users with medium and high activity levels who desire greater control and freedom of movement without sacrificing comfort.
Product Description
ALPS AP Tapered Liner is gradually tapered from the thicker anterior to the thinner posterior side to provide freedom of movement to transtibial users.
The 6 mm frontal wall ensures a high level of protection to bony areas.
By combining a high density gel with a limited vertical stretch fabric, this liner minimizes soft tissue movement and reduces vertical pistoning, offering a high level of control of the prosthetic leg.

Robert Rodriguez
Robert Rodriguez was born with a birth defect called fibular hemimelia. At ten months old, his mother faced the tough decision to amputate his leg. She was unsure if she was making the right decision for her son, but Robert is thankful she did. Due to his amputation and wearing a prosthetic, he is proud to show others that he, and all amputees, are capable of doing the same things as any other able-bodied individual.
Today, Robert is a father, a husband, a motivational speaker, and an athlete. He competes on the Para-Elite Triathlon Team for Team USA and Team USA for amputee soccer. The trials and tribulations Robert has had to mentally and physically overcome as a young man has taught him to always push through no matter the circumstances. Through his experiences, he has learned that sometimes things aren’t as bad as they seem, and success is on the other side if we continue to work hard.
