APOPPS-TF®
Adjustable Postoperative, Protective and Preparatory System For Transfemoral Amputees

The multi-layered belt system is designed to accommodate circumferences ranging from 28" to 60" and to help patients cope with the skin pressures inherent in all above knee suspension belts. The first layer is a Velcro^® compatible Neoprene^® and Velcro^® two piece inner band designed to suspend the FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™, accommodate varying shapes and sizes and provide soft tissue relief for the Silesian belt pressures. The second layer is the Silesian belt (band). It is designed to maximize suspension of the FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™ in bed and to provide suspension of the UFOS-TF™ . The FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™ and UFOS-TF™ sockets (APOPPS-TF®) work together to enable prosthetists to fit virtually any shape or any size amputation. (Detailed instruction is provided to facilitate a smooth fitting.)

New Measurements for APOPPS-TF®
Because our APOPPS-TF^®sockets tend to be larger than prosthetists expect (see our FAQ section) we have recalculated the measurements to more accurately reflect the actual fitting sizes.

FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™

Maximum protection against injury, right from the start.

The FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™ serves as a protective device during the early period of rehabilitation. This one piece postoperative and protective socket allows the prosthetist to offer non-ambulatory protection for transfemoral amputations. The FLO-TECH-TOR-TF™ offers protection and ambulatory training, when used in conjunction with the UFOS-TF™ (APOPPS-TF®).

UFOS-TF™

When the time is right for a preparatory prosthesis.

The UFOS-TF™ with knee, foot and pylon components can be removed without removing the inner socket. This then offers practitioners a versatile rehabilitation system. The patient can be sent home or back to their hospital room with the protective socket. The UFOS-TF™ remains in the control and possession of the physical therapist or prosthetist until the patient is determined to be ready to assume the responsibility of donning and doffing it themselves.
