Premature failure of B/K (below the knee) prosthetic suspension
sleeves in the area of the prosthetic socket brim is a common problem
for amputees. The new Sleeve Saver sleeve protector product from
Knit-Rite increases longevity for prosthetic suspension sleeves. The
product is a simple double layer nylon sleeve that is worn between the
socket and the suspension sleeve. When the Sleeve Saver is used, the
inner surface of the suspension sleeve is protected from abrasive
rubbing of the socket brim, because the two nylon layers of the Sleeve
Saver help absorb friction.
Measuring for Prosthetic Sleeve Saver:
Please measure the circumference around your knee.
Size Regular fits circumferences 14-16"
Size Narrow fits circumferences 10-12"
rolled on over your
socks and prosthesis
before you pull up
your suspension
sleeve--reducing
friction and
premature wear
from socket brim
trimelines.
