Amputee / Stump ContexGel. Suspension Knee Sleeve – with 3mm Antibacterial Polymer Gel – also Suitable for Below Elbow Amputee

Amputee / Stump ContexGel. Sleeve – with 3mm Antibacterial Polymer Gel

The ContexGel.sleeves by Streifeneder ensure correct suspension and fit in lower and upper limb prosthetic applications. They’re effective at keeping air out of elevated system sockets and keeping the prosthesis firmly in place. Smaller sizes are suitable for upper limb and below elbow prosthetic sockets; larger sizes are suitable for below-knee amputees. The latest bi-elastic knit design prevents tension and pinching on the knee joint, with 3 mm antibacterial Polymer Gel for optimal residual limb health.

Measuring and Fitting

• To determine the optimal size of the knee sleeve, measure the distal socket circumference and the proximal thigh circumference (approx.15cm above the centre of the knee joint).
• When fitting for size, please position the sleeve so that the middle section is sat over the knee/elbow joint

ContexGel.Protect Cover/Liner Sleeve – Listed Separately

To avoid premature tearing of the ContexGel. knee sleeves, we recommend using the ContexGel.protect as a protective cover or liner for sharp-edged prosthetic sockets. This protective cover is made of durable and expandable fabric and has an inner silicone edge on the distal side to prevent slipping. See link below to ContexGel. Protect Cover:
