Suspension Techniques

We are the famous manufacturer and supplier of Suspension Techniques in New Delhi, Delhi, India. There are many ways to suspend a prosthesis. Some of the more common techniques are as follows: Supracondylar suspension which is suspension above the bony anatomy of the knee. Silicone suspension uses a liner that is rolled onto the limb which has a pin attached into a lock into a mechanism inside the prosthesis. Seal-in suction is also a liner that is rolled onto the limb but this design has a sealing ring, or rings, that seal against the walls of the prosthesis. Vacuum suspension is another technique that uses the TSB socket design (for below knee-amputees) and vacuum pump to mechanically hold the prosthesis on the limb with suction. This design provides excellent adhesion and improved wearer comfort.
