The Suspension Sleeve (SSL-51) is a suspension aid that is designed to hold a knee prosthesis in place. It is used in conjunction with a transtibial prosthesis.
BENEFITS:
This Suspension Sleeve is designed to provide a secure fit to ensure that a knee prosthesis stays in place during use. The airtight seams hold the prosthesis secure. This sleeve is a great option for those who are seeking a comfortable and effective prosthetic suspension solution with the additional feature that allows for knee flexion range of motion (bending of the knee).
The sleeve is made of a 1/8-inch one-sided neoprene material. The neoprene material provides a secure fit to help keep the prosthesis in place. It also prevents the sleeve from sliding down. The design is 1-part, meaning it contains a knee flexion feature, allowing for greater bending of the knee compared to the SSL-50 product.
These suspension sleeves are stocked in black.
Determine your size by measuring the circumference of your thigh at 5 inches above the knee.

A Prosthetic Suspension Sleeve is a specialized sleeve designed to provide secure suspension and support for prosthetic limbs. It is worn over the residual limb to create a seal and maintain a secure connection between the limb and the prosthetic socket.
It's important to choose the correct size of the Prosthetic Suspension Sleeve to ensure a proper fit. Measure the circumference of your residual limb at 5 inches above the knee. Select the size that corresponds to your measurements.
The Prosthetic Suspension Sleeve can be hand-washed using mild soap and water. Gently clean the sleeve, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reusing. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or excessive heat, as they may damage the sleeve's material.
The Prosthetic Suspension Sleeve is designed to work with various types of prosthetic limbs. However, it's important to consult with your prosthetist or healthcare professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit with your specific prosthetic device.
The Prosthetic Suspension Sleeve is not specifically designed for water activities and may not provide the same level of suspension and security when exposed to water. If you engage in water-based activities, it is recommended to explore specialized waterproof prosthetic accessories or discuss alternative suspension options with your prosthetist to ensure optimal functionality and comfort.
