SleevSaver was developed by an amputee for an amputee to prevent unnecessary costs in replacing suspension sleeves when your sleeve gets a scratch, scrape, tear, or a scuff that causes a vacuum leak.
Suspension sleeves can cost over $700 each, and the smallest of intrusions means that you have to purchase another sleeve.
