The Click Reel automatically will shift from 1:1 to 7:1 when tension is felt in their system. There are no buttons to push or levers to slide, it is all done internally and automatically to the user.

There is no need to pull out on the Click Reel to release, simply turn the dial in the opposite direction 3 turns until there is no tension in the system and it will shift back to 1:1 and fully release.

When loosening the system, the user must have back tension on the system for the lace to exit the spool or they have to pull the lace out for it to move. There is no way to push soft lace out of the spool.

Patients who are best suited for RevoLock are those who struggle with their current suspension system or new patients looking for an innovative suspension approach. We have successfully outfitted patients who have trouble locating a pin-lock pin, have long or bulbous limbs, experience large volume change each day or change activity often. We have also seen great benefits for patients who struggle with balance when donning their socket or who have limited range of motion. In the end, we make it easy to put on and keep on your socket.

RevoLock may not be appropriate for people with numbness in their limb. Talk to your provider to see if this will work for you.

The weight of the patient is managed mostly by the socket frame, rather than by the RevoLock system. As long as you do not intend to hang by your feet on a regular basis, then the RevoLock system can be used on just about any patient weight.

The RevoLock system approaches suspension in a different way. Rather than relying on the exact position of the liner to align the pin with the lock, RevoLock draws the limb into the correct position. It's like having that new automatic parallel parking feature on your car. It simply guides your limb into place. You can put on your socket while seated without falling, hopping around or causing skin shear. Lastly, you are always attached to the socket regardless of the volume of your leg. Stop struggling and dial in suspension throughout the day.

Most of the time RevoLock is integrated into a new socket. However, for some pin-lock systems there are ways to retrofit the system into an existing socket. It’s a bit more complicated, but it may be worth asking your provider if it they can safely install the system into your socket.

Adding RevoLock to a socket is an inexpensive way to truly improve the socket. That said, a new socket has to be built to incorporate RevoLock into a socket. If you are a patient talk with your provider to get a good idea of any associated costs and your insurance coverage for a new socket. If you are a provider, please reach out to your distributor for pricing.

The system is easy to use! Just attach the metal insert at the end of the cord to your liner, and then wind the dial. The lace will draw your limb into the socket. As your volume changes, you can continue to position your limb until it fully seats into the bottom of the socket. To release tension or to remove the socket, simply pull the dial outwards to release the locking mechanism and pull your limb out of the socket.

You can attach the metal insert into each liner you use. Simply screw on/off the insert to the liner that you are using that day. You can also pull the RevoLock insert into the end of the socket to create an air seal. Then you can use a sealing ring/suction liner as as an alternative method of suspension.

The RevoLock system is robust and holds up well over time. Even so, laces and dials can break. Each component of the system can be replaced by either you or by your prosthetist and it only takes a few minutes. Click recommends lace replacement every 6 months.

The lace can often last the life of the socket. However, we do recommend replacing it every six months. It’s easy to do and it ensures that your socket will always be in tip-top condition.

RevoLock is safe to submerge in fresh and saltwater. If you do use the system in salt water, rinse the system with clean water afterward to remove salt and any corrosive elements.

Check the lace often for knots or signs of wear. If either exist, replace the lace with a lace replacement kit. Have your provider look over your system when you visit their office to ensure that the system is functioning optimally.

No, the new snap feature is not airtight and the device will not be able to hold suction or EV. If you are a patient, please reach out to your practitioner.
