The Shower Leg. Introducing the Shower Leg, a prosthetic device designed to help amputees and individuals with ankle or foot injuries to regain independence and safety while showering. This FDA-approved product features a movable arm, fabric netting, and wide, rubber-footed base for stability. Made from water-resistant anodized aluminum, it ensures a comfortable and secure showering experience by putting personal hygiene items within reach and preventing slips. Enjoy free shipping in May and reclaim your confidence in the shower with the Shower Leg.
SoftSkin 2L. The SoftSkin 2L and Air 2L are the latest versions of the ground-breaking breathable silicone liner for amputees. Its unique micropore structure wicks moisture away from the residual limb, providing improved grip, reduced risk of slippage, and less irritation. Proven effective through extensive tests and moisture-level analysis, the SoftSkin Air 2L ensures enhanced security and comfort. With a dual-layer silicone design (Shore hardness: 30/50) and an innovative functional knit, it offers soft cushioning, efficient sweat transport, and reduced longitudinal movement without an inner matrix, making it easy to roll up and insert into the socket.
Rapid Ozone Sleeve Sanitizer. The ROSS (Rapid Ozone Sleeve Sanitizer) by TriOx Innovations is the the world's first automated rapid ozone sleeve sanitizer designed for prosthetic liner hygiene. Developed in cooperation with leading O&Ps and amputees, ROSS efficiently eliminates 99.9% of S. aureus bacteria using ozone, ensuring clean liners and a fresh scent. Compatible with all liner types and easy to operate, ROSS offers a superior cleaning solution for home use, outperforming traditional soap-and-water methods in germ elimination.
