Is Your Lab Sad about the Irritation and Expense of Carbon?
Use Coyote Design's new "composite" in your laminations. Made from basalt (volcanic rock), this material creates an inert and safe material that causes much less itch than carbon. Our proprietary braid was designed for prosthetic and orthotic use, and is similar in weight to carbon, but less rigid for a more flexible, comfortable sockets. Basalt is also tougher than carbon or fiberglass to withstand impact and resist delaminating, and it is less expensive. Available in 4", 6", and 8" braid, as well as reinforcement rope or sheet fabric.

AIRPUCK Modular Vacuum Chamber
The AIRPUCK™ system is a cost-effective vacuum reservoir that can maintain negative pressure within the prosthetic socket for extended periods of time (6-10 hours). The AIRPUCK system completely seals the distal aspect of the socket, allowing users to open the valve and remove air in the socket to achieve vacuum suspension. The vacuum barb is neatly concealed in the valve housing. Blister pull fabrication makes an air-tight socket a breeze. No hoses, barbs, or ports to contend with. The AIRPUCK is a self-sealing, modular, drop-in vacuum component. Patent pending.
