Cutaneous Anchor Technology


This innovative anchor system uses specialist tape and reusable mounting plate anchors to control a body-powered cable and a terminal device. This eliminates the need for a contralateral harness which can interfere with user clothing and affect comfort.

Can also be used to anchor linear transducers, or powered and body-powered devices simultaneously.

Pro-Polyweb Harness Material


The Pro-Polyweb Harness is made of soft, smooth material which is comfortable for the user to wear. It is slightly thicker than conventional Dacron web, so functions well with the TRS Rapid Adjust Buckles (below).

  • Easily incorporated into standard harness fabrication
  • Can be laundered regularly without risk of damage

Rapid Adjust Buckles


The low-profile, strong Rapid Adjust Buckles are used to replace any three or four buckles and most ‘belt’/’latch’ buckles used on orthotic braces.

Optimised for use on upper extremity prosthetic harnesses to enable quick adjustment of cable excursion.

View Ordering Information

 

Features

  • Buckles use a ‘clamp’ action for positive locking anywhere on the web
  • One-handed operation

Neo-Axilla Loop Padding


The Neo-Axilla Loop Padding has a hook-and-loop compatible inner, to wrap around web in the axilla area of a harnessing system. Constructed using soft nylon on the exterior, to prevent chafing and discolouring.

Features

  • Lightweight design
  • Washable
  • Soft tan colour
  • To wrap around 1" wide harness webbing

Bio-Mechanically Aligned Harness Anchor (BAHA)


The BAHA is a bio-mechanically aligned harness anchor, designed to optimise a harness’s axilla angle by providing a more efficient cable-control pathway. 

Intended to replace figure-8 harness rings, these are lightweight, durable and flexible devices to conform to the patient’s spine.

View Ordering Information

 

Features

  • Can be modified to accommodate most axilla harness angles
  • Requires a standard fabrication technique


Application

  • Left or right application
  • Can be applied to any figure-8 harness configuration

ELF Straps


The ELF Cross Bar and Cable Control Strap eliminates the need to fabricate cross bar straps. They are designed to enhance cable excursion control around the elbow by providing a platform and cable housing ‘tunnel’.

Also enables elbow flexion during glenohumeral flexion and bi-lateral scapular abduction movements, to help generate the cable forces needed to operate terminal devices such as Grip Prehensors and Split Hooks.

Features

  • Waterproof polyurethane materials provides strength and flexibility
  • Provided at an extra-long length to fit prosthesis with lower trim lines
  • Can be used with heavy duty and standard size cable housing
  • Special tubing provided to increase outer diameter of standard-size cross bars so they can be used with the ELF system
  • Easily modified for optimal length and mounting options

Sure-Lok Cable Lock Control Systems


Eliminating the need to maintain continuous cable tension for control and grasping, the Sure-Lok replaces the standard cable, the cable housing system and the related hardware.

Applicable to both V/C and V/O operating systems, it helps to improve function and versatility. It features a reliable manual lever actuation controlling on/off operation, and a high-performance TRS python standard cable.

Features

  • High strength polymer covers and switch levers (surface mount)
  • Supplied with 18” of heavy duty cable housing, liner and TRS python standard cable
  • Four TRS cable housing ferrules
  • Stainless steel base system designed to fit various arm sizes
  • Vertical mount comes with cover plate designed to fit various arm radii


Application

  • Surface mount for long residual limbs
  • Vertical mount to be mounted up to 1/2” below prosthesis surface - suitable for short and mid-length limb absence

Adept Cable Adapters


Designed exclusively for use with the Adept Prehensors and Lite Touch Hands, these are one-piece stainless steel components for in-line cable fittings.

Features

  • Coated cable provides 30% more friction resistance
  • Must be installed with a Teflon or co-polymer plastic cable housing liner


Application

  • Children to adults
  • Transradial and transhumeral

Spectra® Ball Cable Fitting


1” long, stainless steel ‘tie-on’ Ball Adapter for the Spectra Cable range.

Binary Cable Hanger System


The Binary Cable Hanger is a unique two-piece system capable of receiving double swage fittings and for use on both standard and heavy duty cables. Designed to be versatile, economical and strong.

View Ordering Information


Binary Swivels


The Binary Swivels are stainless steel devices with an extra long ferrule designed to receive prosthetic cables, allowing for a ‘double swage’ capability for optimised durability and longevity. These durable components are recommended for use with the TRS Python Standard and Python Heavy Duty cables.

View Ordering Information



TRS Python Cable


The Python Cable by TRS is a high performance, stainless steel aircraft cable which fits all standard harnessing hardware. Available in standard or heavy-duty options, these cables have a low coeffeicient of friction for decreased risk of fraying and breakage.

Heavy-Duty Cable Housing

 

  • Heavy duty stainless steel cable housing
  • Accepts TRS Python Heavy Duty Cable (3/32” diameter) or equivalent
  • Accepts standard diameter prosthetic cable (1/16” diameter)
  • Constructed to be used with any manufacturer’s standard heavy duty fittings; cable housing retainers, cross bars, etc.
  • Supplied in 7.5 metre (25 ft) long coils

Heavy-Duty Cable Housing Liner

 

  • Provides low friction, highly efficient lining for standard diameter stainless steel prosthetic cable.
  • Sized to fit perfectly into Heavy Duty Cable Housing
  • Special material composition eases and enhances flaring the ends of the liner
  • Supplied in 7.5 metre (25 ft) long coils


View Ordering Information

Cable Housing Ferrule

 

  • Press-fitted into heavy duty housing which traps the Teflon liner inside housing, and eliminates the ned to 'flare' the liner
