Features & Benefits
- Designed for below-knee vacuum systems
- Lasting protection from friction and pinching of the sealing sleeve at the brim edge
- PU-coated GlideWear fabric extends the lifespan of the sealing sleeve, acting as a patch if a puncture hole or small tear is present
- Improved comfort & reduced skin irritation
- Durable, machine washable, & latex-free
Installation Tips
- The PSP is intended to be layered between the prosthetic socket and the outer sealing sleeve, bridging over the knee and prosthetic brim
- Situate the PSP with the PU-coating facing outward and the stretch panel at the back of the knee
- The narrow end of the PSP should be situated below the knee; the wide end should be situated above the knee
- The PU-coated GlideWear portion of the PSP can be rotated or adjusted for placement appropriate to the user's needs
- Ensure the PSP is not too tight or impeding circulation – initial feedback indicates that a slightly loose PSP is still effective
