responses to question on one way valves

Jake Wood, CP

My original question:

Does anyone have suggestion on which company to order a one way valve for
suction design in a transtibial definitive. Additionally I was planning on
using silicone liner with pin attachment.

Any suggestions would be helpful, plus any successful results or problems.

Thank you in advance.



Alps has an $12 mini valve.

Hi Jake:
We have a clutchlock pin lock with a one way valve built into it. Early
production, limited quantities so you'll have to call me for details.
Thanks,

Jake,
I really like the Alps VIVA with the valve built into the sleeve...
good luck,

I've had good results with the Alpha Lock from Ohio Willow Wood Company. It
has a built in one-way valve.


Hi Jake,
I believe that OWW has a pin locking kit for use in collaboration with a
valve and they also carry several valve systems that look promising. Centri
valves are simple to use and quick to incorporate, but I'm not sure who
distributes them, check with PEL or SPS


ESP has one that works well. G.S., CPO

ESP makes a great one-way BK valve. It's easy to install, and I've never
had any issues with function.

I'm pretty sure that Ohio willow Wood has a one way valve that looks pretty
neat. It's newer so it might not be in their catalog. You might try their
website online.


Try ESP bk valves

SEATTLE LIMB HAS ONE WAY SUCTION VALVE'S

Jake, go to your local pet store and look for the Tetra one way filter valves
for aquariums, you will find them exactly the same as the TEC V-2 valve for
about two dollars each.
