ALPS artificial leg parts in Pakistan
Not every family can spend a lakh on a liner, and not every stump needs one that costs that much. ALPS, based in Florida, has made its name with gel liners and sleeves that perform well and cost noticeably less than the best known brands.
Is ALPS available in Pakistan?
Yes. ALPS liners and sleeves are imported to order and fitted in Karachi. ALPS is an American company based in St Petersburg, Florida, specialising in gel liners, suspension sleeves and skin care products for prosthesis users. Its liners are soft and stretchy, come in locking and cushion versions, and are generally priced below the largest brands, which makes them a common choice for mid range legs.

Strengths, and what to watch
Where ALPS is strong
- Price. Often half to two thirds the cost of the best known liners.
- Very stretchy, so easy to roll on for weak or arthritic hands
- A useful choice of thickness profiles
- Sleeves and pads that solve small problems cheaply
What to weigh up
- Soft gel wears faster than silicone, particularly in heat
- Fewer sizes and shapes than the largest ranges, so very unusual stumps may need another brand
- A liner specialist. Feet and knees come from elsewhere.
- As with any gel, rinse thoroughly. Soap residue causes rashes.
Using ALPS in Pakistani conditions
For the typical mid range leg we build, a laminated socket with a pin lock and a multi axis foot, an ALPS class liner is frequently the sensible choice. It frees budget for the socket work and the foot, and the family can afford to replace it on time.
That last point matters more than the brand. A liner worn for two years because a new one costs too much is thin, torn and slippery, and causes the very skin problems it was bought to prevent. An affordable liner replaced every eight months beats a premium one worn to destruction.
Buy two at the start if you can, and alternate them daily.

A liner is sized from stump measurements. Bring the patient, or send the measurements we ask for.
Artificial Leg Karachi imports and fits ALPS components to order. We are independent of every manufacturer, recommend by need and budget, and earn nothing from steering you to one name over another. Product ranges change, so we confirm the current model, its weight rating and its water rating with the maker before anything is ordered. ALPS and its product names are trade marks of their owner and are used here only to describe the products.
Are ALPS liners as good as the expensive brands?
For most stumps they perform very well. The premium brands offer more sizes, more specialised shapes and, in silicone, longer life. For a standard below knee stump the difference in daily comfort is small.
Which ALPS liner suits an above knee stump?
A grippier gel in an above knee shape, usually with a pin or a lanyard. Above knee liners must resist rotation and being pulled down, so grip matters more than softness.
Can I buy an ALPS liner without changing my socket?
Yes, if the new liner is the same thickness and type as the one the socket was made for. A thicker or thinner liner changes the fit, so bring the old one.
How do I make a gel liner last longer in Pakistan?
Alternate two, wash nightly with mild soap and rinse very well, dry on a stand in the shade, keep nails and jewellery away from it, and never leave it in a parked car.
