Socket Technologies

Feeling the maximum in comfort and security at every step and being able to rely fully on the prosthesis system: That is socket technology – good seating and optimum fit of the prosthesis.

As individual as your patients are – they all have one thing in common: The need to rely on their prosthesis at every step during their day-to-day lives. The goal of our Socket Technologies is to provide the best possible solutions that meet the highest safety and comfort standards as well as the individual needs of your patients.

Otto Bock offers a large selection of materials such as silicone, copolymer and polyurethane for all standard and custom liners. Since we know the forces that act on the liner and how movements affect the fit of the prosthesis, our liners are precision-designed for various adhesion systems. Whether your patient is looking for the innovative Otto Bock Harmony® system that creates increased negative pressure between the socket and liner for maximum adhesion and control, or whether a liner with the shuttle lock system which is easy to put on and take off is preferred – Socket Technologies offers the right solution.

The prosthesis socket

The prosthesis socket connects the residual limb to the prosthesis and fulfils an important function: It provides optimum support for your patient and ensures a good fit for the prosthesis.
