ALPS New Guardian Suction Liner
The Guardian Suction Liner from ALPS features raised GripGel bands that grip the socket wall to form a secure interface between the socket and liner to prevent slippage or premature release. These low-modulus GripGel bands stretch against the socket wall, while the inner wall conforms easily to the residual limb to ensure there is no restriction of blood flow or stiffening to inhibit donning. No seams and a single-piece construction improve durability. Available in both transfemoral and transtibial models, the Guardian Suction Liner can be fully inverted for ease of donning.

Coyote Design’s New Solid Brass Pins
Coyote Design has introduced two new, heavy-duty, solid brass pin options for its Air-Lock and Easy-Off Lock lines.

Like most Coyote products, they are noncorrosive and water resistant, making them great for active people and heavier weight patients, and the pins help eliminate noise issues.
