Because Every Client Is Different

As prosthetists, our designers know the importance of a good fit. We also know that different clients have different needs and that there are times when an off-the-shelf TES Belt or Durasleeve will not meet those needs. For those special clients, Syncor Ltd. offers custom-designed TES Belts and Durasleeves.

Our complete line can be adapted to meet the needs of clients with transfemoral amputations. We can also custom make the Durasleeve for transtibial suspension, including the Durasleeve HD for exceptionally active clients and the Durasleeve EZ for clients with limited dexterity. For special orders, contact your Syncor supplier.

Full Suction Liner Exclusively through SPS

The new ALPS FSL liner (FSL) is the perfect application for amputees with poor manual dexterity, and for vascular patients.

• Minimal socket rotation is achieved by maximizing contact with the socket-wall surface area in a uniform 6mm profile.
• Maximum comfort is delivered while allowing shear forces on the skin to be redistributed.
• Unrestricted stretch provides greater elasticity so that the FSL can be rolled on and off as simply as a sock.
• The absence of a fabric cover allows ALPS GripGEL™ to conform to the residual limb as needed without constricting the proximal end.
• No special lamination processes needed.

New 6Y93 Balance Copolymer Liner

Designed for low- to moderate-activity-level transtibial amputees, the new 6Y93 Balance Copolymer Liner keeps your patients in balance in more ways than one.

Add the color-coded fabric, which makes it easy to correctly apply, and we have your patients (and you) covered.
