“Below Knee Suspension Styles”

Below Knee Suspension Styles We use a variety of manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the best and optimal fit for our patients.

Elevated Vacuum

Incorporates a sealing liner in combination with a suciton vacuum system. Motion in the foot activates a pumping mechanism to create additional suction.

Supracondylar

Incorporates higher trimlines to lock in the epicondyles of the knee for socket suspension.

Locking Liner

Incorporates a shuttle lock built into the socket and a liner with a pin attached on the distal end. The patient dons the liner which then locks into the socket.

Suction Liner

Gel liner with sealing flanges that seal against the inner surface of the socket by suction. A one way expulsion valve on the socket helps release air, providing an intimate fit.
