locking suspension systems

Dear Listmemberts: Firstly thank you to those of you who responded to my initial inquiry about silicone suspension systems. The prevailing opinion was that the TEC liner was easy for the elderly to donn and doff. Unfortunately, it appears I was not as clear as I had intended to be. I am interested in learning about the types of locking suspension systems you are using for elderly patients to facilitate donning/doffing from a seated position. I have been using a clutch lock but find that it occasionally binds up making it difficult for elderly patients to unlock it. I am looking for a similar mechanical suspension system that will not bind if the patient does not exactly line the pin or other mechanism exactly with the lock every time the prosthesis is donned. My apologies for the confusion.Kind regards,Jonathan ReynikNOTE: This email is confidential and meant only for the intended recipient(s) of the transmission and may be a communication privileged by law.
