This is awesome.As someone who will lose his leg in the next ten years due to diabetes. This is really cool cause it shows me that i will still have an active life. Good work!

I would like to know more about this system . Can it apply to below knee.

Can it be use with an active vacuum system like limb logic?

How does this system deal with limb swelling?

Is it available in Canada?

Thanks

Thanks for contacting us. Currently we are testing the below knee application and as of now our socket design is only available for upper limb, above knee and knee disarticulation wearers. Our interface (socket) can be used with all suspension types.  We currently are only offering our socket in the states but are hoping to work with a group in Canada in the future. Let's keep in touch.

The High-Fidelity is much more comfortable than traditional sockets because it makes you and your prosthesis feel connected, rather than hanging off of you. While the compression zones look aggressive, in actuality by combining them with alternating areas of tissue release, the design actually eliminates all of the issues associated with an uncomfortable socket. By controlling the underlying bone, it no longer strikes the socket wall during walking or standing.

Seems extremely uncomfortable to use for long periods of time.
