  • Swim fin for leg amputees
    Patent number: 9186554
    Abstract: A modified swim fin comprising a swim fin component and a leg amputation coupling. The swim fin component and the amputation coupling may be two separate structures joined together such as by welding, glue, mechanical attachment or integral fabrication. The coupling may be formed of two elements, a prosthetic soft, shell and an encasing non-metallic material such as a plastic or rubber. The prosthetic soft shell forms the interior of the coupling for direct contact with the amputated leg. The fin component and the coupling are fixedly joined together so that they do not pivot at their interface. Their centerlines are substantially aligned to minimize pain and/or injury for the wearer and to maximize performance.
