I am looking for a silicone suspension sleeve to replace a long
time wearer of the Ossur Iceflex Endurance. Ossur changed the
outer material on the sleeves and the patient is now experiencing
pistoning since these changes were made. The sleeve is her main
means of suspension because a pin locking system did not work for
her. The patient is also a trans- radial amputee who does not wear
an arm prosthesis. She needs a sleeve that provides great
suspension, and she can roll up with one arm. Does anyone have any
suggestions or recommendations of a sleeve that may work for this
patient?
