My original question asked for recommendations for below elbow suspension sleeves from those with experience in using them with patients. A lot of people asked me to post results but not a wealth of choices were presented.
The three responses in the order that they were received:
1. Cut off an Ossur Upper X pin system liner, 2mm thick and designed for upper use. Used successfully.
2, Otto Bock custom BE liner. Used successfully.
3. Secure Ring System from ESP ( submitted by ESP rep)
Manufacturers that I spoke to said to just order a small or x-small BK sleeve and use it for BE purposes.
Any late arrivals welcome!
