Hi All,
I have been using Suction suspension sleeves with BK suction
sockets; Iceflex, TEC's, OWW's, and Silipos. All work well in the
office but in 1-2 months develop a hole and don't hold suction. This
is getting costly to the wearer. I put leather at the brim of the
socket and trim the socket as low as possible. Still somehow they all
end up torn. Is there a durable sleeve out there I don't know about?
Please share your most successful sleeves with me.
Thanks Tom Whitehurst CPO
