Next Generation Socket Interface Explained - Hip Disarticulation and Hemipelvectomy Amputations

The latest prosthetic socket interface advancements radically changes life for individuals with hip disarticulation/hemipelvectomy levels of amputation. Developed by Jay Martin, CP, FAAOP, the patented Bikini Hip Socket technology effectively distributes mechanical forces through compliant materials, providing the most comfortable interface available. It provides a more direct biomechanical link between the body movement and the prosthesis, resulting in superior control and functional outcomes. It is also less than half the weight of conventional prosthetic sockets. For more information on this technology, visit martinbionics.com.
