摘要:
Evacuation devices for evacuating the socket of a prosthetic limb, andprosthetic limb systems employing such vacuum devices. The evacuation deviceseach preferably include at least an electrically powered vacuum pump and apower source. Such evacuation devices can be attached at various locations onor in a prosthetic limb. Because the electrically powered pump does notrequire manual manipulation to create vacuum, it is substantially easier touse than a manual pump. Due to the small size and small power source requiredby such an electrically powered pump, an evacuation device may be readilyincorporated into a prosthesis.
