Suspenders

All artificial legs for thigh amputations require support from shoulders or waist. For amputations at or below the knee, except ankle joint and partial foot amputations, it is desirable to have suspenders attached for beginners. Many, however, discard them after a time. All legs that we make requiring suspenders are equipped with them, any form desired, without extra charge. We are not confined to the styles illustrated; they will be modified to suit the purchaser or any peculiarities of the case.
