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.

Aeris Performance Foot System from PEL Supply

The Aeris Performance foot system improves upon the successful foundation of the Ibex foot from Emotis. The Aeris Performance foot uses compliant composite technology (CCT) with multiple springs to increase the range of flexibility. The result is a unique advanced energy release (AER) pylon design composed of nested parallel springs that enable the foot to react in a compliant manner at heel strike, then work together to create a dynamic push-off at toe release. The independent spring action provides smooth, stable progression while increasing the axial rotation, minimizing the forces transmitted to the residual limb.

Benefits include:

• Dorsiflexes from midstance to toe off for a smooth rollover.
• Remains dorsiflexed through swing phase for improved toe clearance, to minimize the risk of falls.

• Provides a more natural gait; reduces the need to compensate by hip hiking, circumduction, or lifting the knee to clear the toe during swing phase.
• Biomimetic ankle motion encourages equal loading during ambulation, which leads to less stress and thereby preserves the sound side.
