Hands-free apparatus to apply a liner to an amputated appendage
12310865 · 2025-05-27 ·

An apparatus for use to apply a liner to an appendage of a user includes a base member and a plurality of arms mounted to the base member. Each arm can include a rotating member, such as a roller ball, coupled to a top end of the arm. The plurality of arms can extend from the base member in a generally upright position and can support the liner thereon in an inside out position so that the application of downward pressure by the appendage of the user within the plurality of arms permits the arms to flex outward, thereby allowing the plurality of arms and roller balls to slide the liner around the appendage of the user. The height of the apparatus can be adjustable by forming each arm in two or more pieces having a height-adjustable engagement between the pieces. Such a configuration further allows for compact disassembly.
