Adjustable prosthetic socket system for residual limb support
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11986404B2) discloses an adjustable socket system designed to receive a residual limb. The system includes a strut device mounted along the anterior side of the residual limb and a sagittal plane of the leg, with an adjustable strut that can be locked at different height settings. The system also features anterior and posterior clamp elements with wings, connected by a strap system that allows for adjusting the circumference. The rigid design of the strut device ensures stability and weight-bearing force transfer from the residual limb to the ground surface.
Furthermore, the adjustable socket system includes various components such as strap elements, anatomical sections, and openings to accommodate fluctuations in residual limb volume. The system's design allows for flexibility and adjustability to cater to different anatomical variations and ensure a comfortable fit for the user. With features like a base connector and a male/female pyramid adapter, the system aims to provide a secure and customizable solution for individuals with limb loss. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive and innovative approach to designing an adjustable socket system that prioritizes stability, comfort, and adaptability for users with limb differences.
