BENEFITS:
This Suspension Sleeve With Interior Sharkskin is designed to provide a secure fit to ensure that a knee prosthesis stays in place during use. The additional reinforced lycra middle provides an airtight seam to hold the prosthesis secure. This product is a great option for those who are seeking a comfortable and effective prosthetic suspension solution with support and allowance for knee flexion range of motion (bending of the knee).
This Suspension Sleeve is 1/8-inch thick. The three-part design features a reinforced lycra middle. The three-part design also allows for greater knee flexion range of motion compared to the other versions of the SSL suspension sleeves.
These suspension sleeves are stocked in black.

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.
