  • Cooling System and Method For A Prosthetic Socket
    Publication number: 20220273488
    Abstract: A prosthetic socket cooling system and method includes a thermally conductive heat spreader including a curved shaped portion configured to maximize contact with a residual limb of a user. A heat extraction subsystem is coupled through a wall of the prosthetic socket and to the thermally conductive heat spreader and is configured to maintain a desired temperature inside the prosthetic socket.
    Type: Application

  • COOLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A PROSTHETIC SOCKET
    Publication number: 20170325975
    Abstract: A prosthetic socket cooling system and method includes a strap for coupling about a limb fitted with a prosthetic socket. One or more thermally conductive heat spreaders are associated with the strap and may be at least partially seated underneath the prosthetic socket. A heat extraction subsystem is coupled to at least one of the lengthy heat spreaders and carried by the strap. In one version, heat spreaders may form sections of the strap.
