ORIGINAL MESSAGE

Thanks for all that replied!

I have a request to find a certian AK suspension sleeve that is supposed to
cool the body when hot, and warm the body when cold. It was featured in the
recent AOPA meeting in Washington.

Thanks for your help in advance,

==================================================

THE ITEM YOU REFER TO IS THE COMFORTEMPT U.S.A. BELT MODEL # 5002
FROM CENTURY 22 , 1-800-788-9878.

==================================================

Try The new one from OTTO BOCK. I have tried them on my last 10 AK patients
and
have only 1 patient that did not like it due to the double velcro straps other
than that they have nothing to say but good thing about it.

==================================================

There is a new AK sleeve out by Century XXII, I am not sure what they call
it, but what i believe they were advertising was cool when hot, and warm when
cold. Also, Otto Bock has a new one out, which i believe has a similar
features to it, we tried to use it a couple of times, but its was on a long
back order.

==================================================

Just a guess. . . . I.P.O.S. 800-626-2612 - They showed some things like
that there in D.C.

==================================================

Its from Century 22. hard to believe but i would like to hear if it cools!

==================================================

Thanks for all your replies.
