ALPS VIVA™ Sleeve
PART # VIVA
ALPS VIVA Sleeve is a prosthetic gel sleeve with a built-in valve to evacuate air in the socket to provide superior security.
It provides suction suspension without creating a valve in the socket.
Once the sleeve is donned, the valve should be proximal to the patella to create back pressure with knee flexion.
The VIVA is made with ALPS Grip Gel, preventing the sleeve from rolling down on the amputee’s limb.
KEY BENEFITS
Minimizes compression and irritation proximally.
Allows a high degree of freedom of knee flexion.
Provides a secure suspension of the prosthetic leg.
Improves pneumatic suspension thanks to the built-in valve for evacuating air.
