Publication number: 20230270573Abstract: A prosthetic system includes a prosthetic foot with a foot member defining a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion defining a curvature and extending between the first and second end portions. A pump mechanism is coupled to the foot member. The pump mechanism includes a housing defining a cavity, and a membrane situated in the cavity. The pump mechanism is movable between an original configuration and an expanded configuration. A movable member includes a first portion coupled to the membrane and a second portion arranged to slidably engage the foot member. Relative movement between the first and second end portions moves the first portion of the movable member relative to the housing and slides the second portion along a length of the foot member to shift the pump mechanism between the original and expanded configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Hafsteinn JONASSON, Hallgrimur Skuli HAFSTEINSSON, Egill Sveinbjorn EGILSSON, Dana Stewart MARLIN, Marco STEINBERG

Publication number: 20230201011Abstract: A prosthetic attachment system includes an insert arranged for connection to a prosthetic liner, and an attachment unit arranged for connection to a distal end of a prosthetic socket. The attachment unit comprises a body defining an axis and a central opening for selectively receiving the insert. The body carries a plurality of locking elements that are distributed circumferentially about the axis and radially repositionable relative to the axis. A release mechanism is slidably positioned on an outer surface of the body to move the prosthetic attachment system between a locked configuration in which the locking elements are radially repositioned to lock the insert in the central opening of the body and an unlocked configuration in which the insert is released from the central opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Dadi GRANZ, Martin Lund STORUP, Andrew BACHE, Linda Ros BIRGISDOTTIR, Egill Sveinbjorn EGILSSON, Lukas KALEMBA, Eelco DOLFSMA

Publication number: 20230087706Abstract: A prosthetic system includes a prosthetic foot defining an upper surface and having a flexible configuration and a pump system attached to the prosthetic foot. The pump system includes a pump mechanism defining a fluid chamber having variable configuration and an actuating part. The actuating part is arranged to selectively engage with and separate a distance from the upper surface of the foot plate to move the pump mechanism between a first position in which a volume of the fluid chamber is zero or near-zero and a second position in which the volume of the fluid chamber is expanded relative to the first position. The volume of the fluid chamber increases when the actuating part moves away from the upper surface of the foot plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Olafur Freyr HALLDORSSON, David SANDAHL, Bjarni GUNNARSSON, Egill Sveinbjorn EGILSSON

Patent number: 11058561Abstract: A prosthetic system includes a prosthetic valve having a valve body with a shaft defining a flow channel fluidly connectable to an interior of a socket. One or more ports in the valve body are in fluid communication with the flow channel and a membrane is positioned in the valve body. A release button associated with the membrane controls allow air flow into the socket via the one or more ports while air can flow out of the socket via the one or more ports independent of operation of the release button. A one-way valve is connected to the valve assembly that selectively permit air flow out of the socket. A valve insert is mountable on the socket and arranged to couple the valve body to the socket. The valve insert defines an opening configured to allow the shaft to extend through the valve insert and into the socket.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Olafur Freyr Halldorsson, David Sandahl, Bjarni Gunnarsson, Egill Sveinbjorn Egilsson

Publication number: 20210161686Abstract: An adjustable socket system includes a distal portion and proximal portion. An axis extends between the distal and proximal portions. A plurality of struts are connected to the distal portion and distributed circumferentially about the axis. The struts at least in part define a receiving volume adapted to receive a residual limb and are movable between an expanded configuration in which at least some of the struts are moved radially outward relative to the axis to loosen the fit of the adjustable system, and a closed configuration in which at least some of the struts are moved radially inward relative to the expanded configuration to tighten the fit of the adjustable socket system. A tightening system is operatively connected to the struts and arranged to differentially tighten and loosen the fit of the adjustable socket system on one or more areas of the residual limb via a single input.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2021Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: Andrew BACHE, Egill Sveinbjorn EGILSSON, Linda Ros BIRGISDOTTIR, Dana Stewart MARLIN
