I am looking for recommendations for a pin
Hello List:
I am looking for recommendations for a pin lock that is air-tight so I can use a suction sleeve as a supplementary means of suspension. I would like to know reliability, ease of fabrication, ease of replacing a faulty unit, cost, etc.
My patient is used to a pin but complains of pistoning--she does not trust suction as the sole means of suspension (based on a sample I showed her.) And she wants to have the option of using only the pin if she deems the suction a failure. An air-tight pin lock gives us the option to use both suspension methods together, or either individually.
Thanks,
Troy Fink, CPO
