Publication number: 20240065862Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Andrew BACHE, Michael Patrick TUTTLE

Patent number: 10740857Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: OSSUR HFInventor: Michael Patrick Tuttle

Patent number: 9050202Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Andrew Bache, Michael Patrick Tuttle
