Prosthetics – Above Knee Suspension Styles – Orthotic and Prosthetic Specialties Inc

We offer both upper and lower extremity prostheses for all ages and pathologies. All patients are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the best plan of care.

“Above Knee Suspension Styles”

We use a variety of manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the best and optimal fit for our patients.

Locking Liner

Incorporates a shuttle lock built into the socket and a liner with a pin attached on the distal end. The patient dons the liner which then locks into the socket.

Sleeve Cushion Gel Liner

Uses an internal gel cushion liner with external sleeve to hold prosthesis on the limb.

Elevated Vacuum

Incorporates a sealing liner in combination with a suciton vacuum system. Motion in the foot activates a pumping mechanism to create additional suction.

Skin Fit Suction

Patient dons a sleeve that then gets pulled through the distal end of the socket, leaving just the patient’s skin contact on the socket walls with a suction fit. Allows for direct skin contact for proprioception, comfort, and stability.

Supracondylar

Incorporates higher trimlines to lock in the epicondyles of the knee for socket suspension.
