Why Choose the Evolution® Brake Cable Sleeve?
The outer brake-cable sleeve is an important part of a mechanical walker braking system. It provides a protected pathway for the internal cable and helps maintain the correct routing between the brake lever and wheel-brake mechanism.
If the original sleeve is cracked, damaged or excessively worn, replacing the sleeve can restore protected cable routing without replacing the complete brake system, when the other components remain serviceable.

Do Not Confuse With Other Evolution Sleeves
Evolution uses different brake-cable sleeve lengths for different walker families. For example, B16CS40 is a 40-inch sleeve for the IR configuration, while B16CS46 is the 46-inch WIV sleeve. Match the sleeve to the exact walker model and cable routing.
Usage and Safety Information
Confirm the walker is a compatible Evolution WIV configuration and that a 46-inch sleeve is required before installation.
Install the sleeve and brake cable according to Evolution service instructions. Route the cable so it is not sharply bent, pinched, stretched or rubbing against moving parts.
After installation, operate the brake lever several times while the walker is stationary. Confirm that the brake engages and releases correctly and that the cable moves smoothly inside the sleeve.
Do not return the walker to service if the brake does not engage or release properly. Inspect the complete brake system, including the inner cable, sleeve, handle, fittings and wheel-brake mechanism.
