Socket-less Socket Transfemoral

No more static socket shape. No more hard ischial seat. No more loss of suction.

We've reinvented sockets from the ground up. Using our NASA-based hammock-fit technology, the Socketless Socket truly conforms to the user, providing a custom-fit socket every time you put it on.
   Fitting a socket is now micro-adjustable in real-time, eliminating the antiquated casting, modification, and iterative test socket fitting methods from the past.

Go Sleeveless With the Unity Sleeveless Vacuum System by Össur

Elevated vacuum systems typically require a sleeve to maintain vacuum. The problem is that sleeves are bulky and bunch behind the knee, restricting range of motion. They can also puncture, leading to a loss of vacuum.
   Building on established Seal-In® technology, the Unity Sleeveless Vacuum System by Össur® is the first elevated vacuum solution to generate 15-22 inHg of vacuum without a sleeve.
   Visit www.ossur.com/unity3 to learn how to get certified, and check out the entire line of Unity-compatible Flex-Foot® feet, including low-activity, low-profile, and microprocessor solutions.

Switch Liners Without Switching Sockets

WillowWood is the only manufacturer offering liners that have a range of interface materials and profiles that retrofit with each other, allowing an amputee to use the same socket with different liners.
   The key to retrofitting is the liner profile. The transtibial Uniform profile is offered in hybrid gel and our silicone blended with Outlast® heat management technology. The transtibial Progressive and transfemoral Symmetrical profiles are offered in hybrid gel, silicone, and silicone with Outlast. The benefit of retrofitting liners is that clinicians and patients can avoid the time-consuming and costly process of creating multiple sockets.

Endolite Introduces Breathable Liner Technology for Drier Skin and Socket Security

The Silcare Breathe silicone liner allows moisture to escape. Unique moisture management results in drier skin, helps reduce the damaging effects of friction, and improves comfort and control.

Features and benefits include:

• Stretch zones: Seamless technology provides bidirectional stretch, improving comfort and contouring, and reducing shear force as it flexes.
• Laser-drilled perforations: Optimally sized pores distributed uniformly along the length and distal end of the liner permit the escape of air and moisture.
• Tendresse finish: A lower coefficient of friction than standard silicone reduces shear stress on the skin.
