摘要:
Vacuum locking systems for prosthetic limbs are generally disclosed. An example double-wall socket system according to at least some aspects of the present disclosure may include a flexible liner shaped to accept a portion of a residual limb a plunger pin mounted to a distal end of the flexible liner an inner socket shaped to receive the flexible liner and the residual limb an outer socket shaped to receive the inner socket, the flexible liner, and the residual limb a locking mechanism mounted at least partially within the inner socket approximate a distal end of the inner socket and a manifold mounted to a distal end of the outer socket. The manifold may be configured to be connected to a vacuum pump for withdrawing air from the double wall socket system.
