We’re excited to announce the official launch of the Ethnocare Overlay TF, a breakthrough product designed to transform how transfemoral amputees manage socket fit.
Whether you’re a patient seeking greater comfort or a CPO looking to streamline care, the Overlay TF offers a powerful solution that’s simple to use, effective, and saves you time.

👉 Now available through Cascade in the USA.
Why Socket Fit Matters
Residual limb volume changes throughout the day due to many factors. These fluctuations can lead to poor socket fit, skin irritation, instability, and discomfort—affecting a user’s confidence and quality of life.
Historically, patients have relied on prosthetic socks (or “ply”) to adjust for volume changes. However, this method requires removing the prosthesis multiple times a day, carrying extra socks, and dealing with heat buildup and inconsistent comfort.
A Smarter, Easier Solution
The Overlay TF is Ethnocare’s newest innovation—an air-based, in-socket socket fit management system that allows for real-time adjustment without needing to remove the prosthesis or clothing.
How it works:
- A breathable sleeve worn over the liner and inside the socket
- Integrated air cells that expand to fill space where needed, creating a uniform fit in the socket
- Inflation through an external pump for larger changes or a built-in micro-pump for precise adjustments; no need to take the socket off

A Universal Solution
The Overlay is compatible with most prosthetic setups, including:
- Pin lock systems
- Vacuum and seal-in suspension
- Lanyard
It can be retrofitted into existing prostheses (for users who typically wear at least 2-ply socks) or integrated during socket fabrication by using a 2-ply over the liner during casting.
This makes it a versatile, universal option for most transfemoral amputees.
Real Users. Real Impact.
Early adopters of the Overlay TF have reported:
- Improved socket fit
- Better cushioning and reduced pressure points
- Increased stability and control
- Greater confidence during walking or physical activities
“This product is a game changer. I can walk unassisted now and feel more secure.”
– Marc F., new amputee
“I no longer experience irritation or pressure sores. It’s incredibly comfortable.”
– François R., active K4 user, school janitor

For the CPOs
The Overlay TF is more than a patient comfort tool—it’s a clinical efficiency tool. For prosthetists and orthotists, it helps:
- Reduce the number of sockets needed during early fittings
- Minimize follow-up visits for volume-related issues
- Eliminate time spent on education around ply management
- Preserve the fit of existing sockets during volume fluctuations
No new manufacturing techniques are required, and no additional time in the lab is needed. It’s a plug-and-play addition to your workflow.
“With the Overlay, I solved both volume and suspension issues in one step—one stone, two birds.”
– Jean-François Brissette, CPO, Bi-OP Laboratory
