Hello All,
We've had great success using the Lyn auto-expulsion valve over the years on
our suction AK sockets.
I currently have a knee disarticulation patient who will require a similar
valve to the Lyn, but with a smaller diameter, to accommodate the shape of
the condyles.
Does anyone know of another valve that has the simplicity of fabrication
that the Lyn valve has, but smaller in size?
Thanks in advance,
Warren R Mays, CPO
