Alps Easy Sleeve Fabric Reinforced SFS is a gel prosthetic sleeve engineered for those below-the-knee amputees needing a sticky high adhesion prosthetic sleeve. Knee bending and overall leg movement is not inhibited by its very flexible fabric covering or proprietary GripGel. The Alps EasySleeve SFS will not roll down as a result of its high adhesion or create uncomfortable shear forces. This Alps sleeve can be safely used with most vacuum and suction systems. The Alps Easysleeve Fabric Reinforced SFS prosthetic sleeve can be used as an alternative or secondary means of suspension in conjunction with a prosthetic liner. Adding a below-knee sleeve to a locking liner will add security to a pin suspension, without any loss of comfort or movement.
Alps’ SFS uses a proprietary compound called GripGel and is made from a combination of Styrene Triblock Copolymer & Mineral Oil.
