An Investigation Into a New Manufacture Technique of Trans-femoral Sockets

Summary

The investigation will be of a single group prospective pre/post design with follow up at 6 weeks (6WFU) and 6 months (6MFU); comparing to outcomes at baseline (BL).

Device(s) being tested: Interchangeably: Direct Socket TF; DS-TF; DS Trans-femoral.

The DS-TF is a trans-femoral (TF) set-up of the currently marketed trans-tibial version. It is not marketed in the USA and has not been registered with the FDA.

The comparator is the current socket the subject is using when enrolled in the study.

Subjects recruited: Minimum 50

Inclusion criteria:

50Kg\< body weight \< 160Kg Cognitive ability to understand all instructions and questionnaires in the study; Patients who have undergone a transfemoral amputation \> 1 year post amputation Older than 18 years Willing and able to participate in the study and follow the protocol Circular dimension of 40-65 cm at the crotch Residual limb length at least 20 cm from ischium to distal end Currently using a prosthetic liner Locking users that can successfully be fitted with Iceross® Transfemoral Locking, OR Seal-In users that can successfully be fitted with either Iceross Seal-In® X5 TF or Iceross Transfemoral Seal-In®

Exclusion criteria: 50Kg\> body weight \> 160Kg Users with cognitive impairment Patients who have undergone a transfemoral amputation \<1 year post amputation Younger than 18 years Not a prosthetic ambulator, uses only the prosthesis for cosmetic reasons Circular dimension of less than 40 cm or greater than 65 cm at the crotch Residual limb length less than 20 cm from ischium to distal end Currently not using a prosthetic liner

DEVICE

Direct Socket TF

The device is Class I, a low-risk product, and is a further development of a well-established technology. Össur Direct Socket (DS) technology has been on the market since 1996 (ICEX first generation) for the manufacture of leg prosthesis. This prosthetic socket for trans-femoral amputees (referred hereby to as DS-TF) has the same basic functional design as the Direct Socket (MSS) for trans-tibial amputees (referred hereby to as DS-TT) that is available on the market today in addition to the newly added silicon brim. A prosthetic socket is a non-invasive, non-sterile, single user reusable device, which is used as part of prosthetic system. The aspect of the prosthesis that is in direct physical contact with the amputee is usually not the socket, to which a prosthesis is connected to, but the liner that serves as an interface between the amputee and the rest of the prosthesis. An amputee typically wears a prosthesis and thereby utilizes a socket, for up to 18 hours a day.
