Description
The Genu sleeve knee cap for vacuum socket systems is the ideal solution for below-knee prosthesis users with mobility levels M1 or M2 who value a secure fit in everyday life. As a flexible, airtight-sealing sleeve, it helps secure the prosthesis and provides a more stable feel when worn. The Genu sleeve knee cap for vacuum socket systems is designed for anyone looking for greater freedom of movement combined with a reliable seal.
In a vacuum socket system, a tight seal and even adhesion are essential—and that is exactly what the Genu sleeve knee cap for vacuum socket systems provides. Its vacuum adhesion helps minimise pistoning of the prosthesis. This means less “pumping”, a more controlled gait and greater confidence during everyday activities. The knee cap also provides suspension to secure the prosthesis and helps keep the prosthetic socket firmly in place.
Thanks to its highly flexible TPE material, the Genu sleeve knee cap for vacuum socket systems adapts very well to the leg and fits almost wrinkle-free—an important feature if you want to avoid pressure points caused by irritating folds. The airtight seal around the prosthetic socket helps maintain the stability of the vacuum socket system. Whether standing up, sitting, walking or making different movements around the knee: the design allows for a high degree of freedom of movement without compromising the seal.
