The Suspension Sleeve (SSL-52) is a prosthetic suspension aid that is designed to hold a knee prosthesis in place. It is used in conjunction with a transtibial prosthesis. The control strap around the thigh is an added feature on the SSL-52 sleeve to provide a more secure and individualized fit.
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. A control strap at the top of the sleeve provides additional support to hold the prosthesis in place. This product is a great option for those who are seeking a comfortable and effective prosthetic suspension solution with the additional features of proximal support and allowance for knee flexion range of motion (bending of the knee).
This Suspension Sleeve is 1/8-inch thick. The 2-part design features nylon on one side and sharkskin on the other side. These materials grip the prosthesis in place and prevent it from sliding down the leg. The 2-part design also allows for greater knee flexion range of motion.
These suspension sleeves are stocked in black. They are also available in various colors such as tan, golden tan, and brown while supplies last.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Recommend this Suspension Sleeve to your patients who need that extra support and hold for their knee transtibial prosthesis. The two-part design of the SSL-52 allows for greater knee flexion range of motion, compared to the SSL-50 and SSL-51 versions. The additional proximal control strap featured on this brace is ideal for patients who need a bit of a tighter fit around the thigh.
This suspension sleeve is recommended under HCPCS product code L5685.

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.
