  • Publication number: 20240065862
    Abstract: An adjustable socket system includes a socket frame having a proximal area, a distal area opposite the proximal area, a first component arranged along a first side of the socket system, and a second component arranged along a second side of the socket system. The first component is connected to the second component. A tubular insert is arranged on an interior of at least the proximal area of the socket frame. The tubular insert forms an interior surface of the socket system. At least one tensioning element operatively connects the tubular insert to the first and/or second components. At least one tensioner is attached to the at least one tensioning element that selectively tensions the tensioning element to adjust a circumference of at least one area of the socket system.

  • Patent number: 10740857
    Abstract: A method of ordering a custom prosthetic or orthopedic device includes manually moving a portable scanner about an anatomical part of a patient to generate three-dimensional information representative of the anatomical part. The portable scanner is coupled to a mobile device routinely carried by a user. The method involves obtaining order information associated with the patient on the mobile device and transmitting an order with the mobile device to an intended recipient. The order contains at least a portion of the three-dimensional information and at least a portion of the order information.

  • Patent number: 9259333
    Abstract: A prosthetic device and a method for making the same includes a mounting plate assembly. The mounting plate assembly includes an inner housing having a first center channel defined along a central axis, an outer housing having a second center channel defined along the central axis, and a fluid regulator arranged between the inner and outer housings, and defined along the central axis. The prosthetic device includes a socket having a cavity and a distal portion whereat the mounting plate assembly is located.

  • Patent number: 9050202
    Abstract: An adjustable socket system includes a distal end portion having an axis, and a frame having a plurality of elongate fingers longitudinally extending from the distal end portion. Each of the elongate fingers defines at least two segments pivotally connected to one another and extending in a longitudinal direction relative to the distal end portion. The at least two segments are pivotable inwardly or outwardly relative to the axis. At least one elongate element is adjustably connected to the plurality of elongate fingers and forms part of a circumference of the adjustable socket system.
