Ethnocare Overlay

The Ethnocare Overlay is a transtibial external socket insert, worn over the patient’s liner, that features an innovative air expansion system to support a patient's continuous comfort and mobility. The Overlay helps the clinician efficiently treat fitting issues caused by daily volume fluctuations and/or transitions to the size and shape of the patient’s residual limb. The Overlay features a series  of interconnected posteriorly positioned pneumatic cells. A proximally positioned built-in pump and release valve enable the patient to effortlessly self-manage the fit quality and comfort of their socket by inflating or deflating the air cells. An external air pump is also provided for faster inflation. The Overlay is an effective alternative to prosthetic socks (and internal socket padding) to fill voids, relieve pressure points, reduce the potential for skin irritations, and improve suspension, thereby reducing socket issues that can disrupt comfortable and safe use of the prosthesis.
