Prosthetic socket is the connection part between the human body and the prosthesis. Prosthetic socket directly affects the patient's comfort with the prosthesis. Today, MEDI-REHATEK will introduce a comfortable prosthetic socket technology, so that patients can "perfectly" fit with prosthetic limb. ![]() This prosthetic socket is called the ischial containment prosthetic socket. The socket mouth is like kind of longitudinal oval figuration , which is different from the conventional square-shaped thigh prosthesis socket, that is the horizontal elliptic socket. They differ largely in the shape and method of cast. ![]() So what is the difference between this socket and the usual socket, or what is the features? 1, The distance between internal and external wall is short The short difference direct supports the alignment of adduction of the femur. If this containment is not narrow, adduction control will be very difficult because of soft tissue, which can not produce direct support on the femur. ![]() 2,Three-point pressure system The middle part of residual limb forms a three-point pressure system between the proximal end of prosthetic socket and the ischial containment.The three-point pressure system keeps the femur adduction, stabilizes the pelvis, and then changes the force of socket. ![]() 3,Pulling off the pressure pad on the front side It is suitable for elderly patients and patients with vasculitis,that is also suitable for patients with strong movement and patients with shorter stump . 4, The flexible materials , The prosthetic socket is made from flexible materials.Patients feel very natural when walking and sitting. Pay attention to the difference of adaptation of residual limb soft tissue.
