MARKETPLACE New Locking Shoulder Joint From College Park Formerly the LTI Locking Shoulder Joint, the new AXIS® has been re-engineered by College Park. With a patented friction hinge, the shoulder joint is operated with simple switches that simplify harnessing by eliminating the need for gross body movements. The AXIS is able to be integrated with all upper-limb control systems with a special channel to conceal and protect power cables. Unlike any product on the market, the AXIS provides better task control, a natural range of motion, and ease of use for the patient’s daily life.

NEXO™ by Fillauer® It’s not exo. It’s not endo. It’s NEXO—a simple, new alternative in upper-extremity socket technology. Featuring an adjustable socket adapter ring, PEEK rods, and a USMCstyle quick disconnect wrist, the NEXO is an easy-to-build upper-extremity socket system that is 50 percent lighter than existing sockets, allows quick access for pull-in socket designs, transfers the force proximal to the cut bone end, and reduces rotational and perpendicular vibration to the residual limb.
