KISS means Keep It Simple Suspension. It is a next-generation, enhanced prosthetic suspension system that virtually eliminates pistoning and rotation, even with volume loss or gain. KISS can be used with ANY covered roll on locking liner and it has an extremely low profile and build height. To date, KISS has revolutionized the lives of over 250 patients nationwide, and the list grows longer every day.

   

KISS Provides A Multitude Of Next Generation Features:
KISS Entirely Eliminates The Pin And The Multitude Of Problems Associated With The Pin
KISS does not use a pin or ratchet in any way, shape, or form. By using patented technologies KISS is able to secure a prosthesis using an innovative pulley action system. Pistoning and rotation are virtually eliminated.
 
KISS Is Easy To Fabricate And Don, Without Fabrication Dummies
KISS features a distal locking base that can be thermo-formed into a flexible inner socket, or laminated directly into the socket, or screwed into a threaded CENTRI® Lamination Adaptor. This next generation fabrication technique eliminates steps from the traditional fabrication process, saving both time and money.
 
  KISS Maintains Suspension And Rotation Control By Eliminating Inversion Of The Liner AND Extraneous Distal Motion, Even With Volume Loss Or Gain
KISS securely anchors the limb into the socket both proximally and distally, creating enhanced linkage between the amputee and prosthesis. KISS surpasses all previous suspension systems in achieving an exceptionally high level of Proprioception and Control when used with a roll on locking liner.
 
KISS Boasts Infinite Adjustability WITHOUT The Use Of A Ratchet
With KISS patients are able to easily pull their limb into the socket, WITHOUT creating folds in the proximal liner.
 
KISS Is Low Profile Because It Suspends Both Distally and Proximally Through A Pulley Action System
KISS eliminates the need for extra space in the distal socket for a pin receptacle. Unlike pin systems, KISS creates incredibly secure resistance against pistoning and rotation.
 
KISS Has NO Moving Or Mechanical Components
Pin systems have a tendency to jam, causing the limb to "get stuck" in the socket or fail to engage in the Pin-Locking Mechanism. KISS technology eliminates this problem completely.
 
KISS Easily Accommodates Any Contracture Without Compromised Suspension
KISS can be used with any degree of contracture. An extreme example can be seen in the video on our Performance Page.
 
KISS Is Fully Submersible And Will Work Under Water
Patients are no longer limited to dry land activities with their prosthesis.
