Tested, Tried, and Proved - Vacuum AK - The best AK Socket design
since the 1970's

Would your AK patients like to lower their trim lines considerably?
Would your AK patients like the BEST POSSIBLE suspension?
Would your AK patients like healthier residual limbs?
Would your AK patients like a socket that has almost invisible trim lines
under their clothing?
Would you like to provide State-of-the-Art care for your AK patients?

With the Ohio Willow Wood Limblogics VS you can create the best possible AK sockets - Improved suspension, circulation, comfort, and appearance. The trim lines can be
lowered because the residual limb is more sturdy. We have many patients
using this great system. I have my own practice, I do not work for OWW, but I
will share all the experience and lessons I've learned...
