The Active Vacuum System is an innovative solution designed to enhance the performance and comfort of prosthetic limbs. This system plays a critical role in ensuring a secure, stable fit, eliminating the possibility of disjunction between the prosthetic socket and liner. By reducing the amount of air between them, it keeps the components securely in place, even during movement. Key Benefits: Improved Stability: The vacuum system reduces air gaps between the socket and liner, ensuring a secure fit that prevents disjunction during use. Dynamic Pressure Adjustment: The integrated vacuum pump adjusts pressure changes and airflow automatically with every movement of the leg, offering enhanced comfort and responsiveness. Increased Comfort: With a stable and secure fit, the wearer experiences less discomfort and greater confidence in their prosthetic, especially during physical activities. Usage: The Active Vacuum System is designed for use in prosthetics, providing a reliable and adaptable fit for users who require stability and comfort in their artificial limbs. It is ideal for individuals weighing up to 100kg and can be used for daily activities, ensuring the prosthetic stays securely in place with each step. Key Features: Material: Durable aluminum construction ensures strength without added weight. Weight: Weighing just 698g, the system is lightweight and won’t add significant bulk to the prosthetic. Maximum Body Weight: Supports users up to 100kg, making it suitable for a wide range of users. Vacuum Pump Integration: Automatically adjusts airflow and pressure during leg movements to maintain an optimal fit at all times. FAQs How does a vacuum prosthetic work? A vacuum prosthetic works by using a vacuum pump to create a sealed environment between the prosthetic socket and the liner, reducing air gaps. This ensures that the socket and liner remain securely in place, preventing any disjunction. As the wearer moves, the vacuum system adjusts the pressure and airflow dynamically to maintain a consistent, comfortable fit, providing stability and improved control during use. What is the difference between suction and vacuum prosthesis? The main difference between suction and vacuum prostheses lies in the mechanism used to secure the prosthetic socket to the limb. Suction prosthesis relies on a simple suction effect to hold the socket in place by creating a partial vacuum, typically using a one-way valve. This provides a snug fit but can be limited in terms of adjusting pressure during movement. Vacuum prosthesis, on the other hand, uses an active vacuum system with a pump to create a more controlled and adjustable vacuum environment. It dynamically regulates air pressure during leg movements, offering a more customizable fit and improved comfort for the user, particularly during activities involving significant movement.
