... can switch off phantom pain.

At the same time, in the majority of cases they cannot guarantee long-term or permanent success. To date, alternative approaches to treatment such as acupuncture or magnetic field therapy have not achieved any permanent pain relief either.

Intensive research and development has now culminated in the medi Liner RELAX. Its novel Umbrellan cover achieves long-term effectiveness against phantom pain – without burdensome side effects. 83 per cent of the participants in a post-marketing surveillance study reported a significant reduction in phantom pain.

The medi Liner RELAX protects the stump from electromagnetic forces. It has long been known – and has been confirmed by studies – that electromagnetic forces have negative effects on well-being and are a contributory factor in the onset of phantom pain.

The Umbrellan fabric cover of the medi Liner RELAX and the silicone gel in the liner, were specially developed to protect patients from these effects. They were also designed to cater for sensitive skin and are particularly suitable for diabetic skin.

The third aspect in pain control with the medi Liner RELAX is the grip on the soft parts below the stump, which often develop into problem areas due to mechanical irritation. The internal matrix grips these soft tissues particularly well and so helps improve tolerability.
