Socket Design

We are one of the popular manufacturer and supplier of Socket Design in New Delhi, Delhi, India. Depending on your level of amputation, there are several types of socket designs that one could be fit with. Your prosthetist will determine which socket design is best suited for you based on the shape and the condition of the residual limb. Other factors include length, circumference and skin integrity. The most common socket designs for below-knee-amputees (BKA) are Patellar Tendon Bearing (PTB) which means the pressures inside the socket are placed on pressure tolerable areas (muscle and tendon) and relieved in pressure sensitive areas (boney area). A Total Surface Bearing socket (TSB) means that the pressures are spread more evenly over the entire limb. The use of a silicone or urethane interface flows over the limb, thinning out over pressure tolerant areas and remaining thick over areas that are pressure sensitive.
